That branch booted fine for me and didn't show any problems.
I wasn't easily able to merge onto linux-next and test there though. I tried applying these the 4 top commits of your branch to "next-20130408" and it didn't solve my problems. A full merge of your branch to linux-next showed conflicts and I didn't dig.
