Hello again. After doing my first bisection, I found the offending commit to be:

Now, not being familiar with ubuntu's (or anyone's) development process, I'm a bit confused as to which kernel version this occurred in. Before I tried bisect, I just compiled a few of the tagged revisions and concluded the faulty patch was committed sometime in October or November in kernel version 3.1.0-1.1, after 3.1.0-1.0. Then when I performed the bisection, the kernel version according to Makefile was 3.0.0, and the commits were dated around July.

Is the commit number applicable to mainline git repository (the bisection was done on a clone of ubuntu-precise repo), or do I need a translation to mainline git commit numbers?
