SubjectRe: [GIT PATCH] TTY patches for 2.6.33-git

Unlikely i'd say. I have 1000+ successful overnight tests on the latest
tree Linus pushed out:

3ef884b: Merge branch 'drm-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/d

So that's a guaranteed 'good' kernel.

The moment i merged 053fe57 into -tip the lockups started, so that's a
guaranteed 'bad' kernel. There's only the TTY changes between those two
points that look remotely related.

It's spurious though so quite hard to bisect. I tried one bisection
today already and it got on the wrong track. I'll do a brute-force
revert of the commits i quoted, lets see what happens.
