Just finished the reverse bisection (managed to remember that "bisect bad" is good and vice versa). It looks like the commit that fixes the problem is something to do with memory mapping:

To be safe, I tested the kernel built at that commit 7 times in 32 bit mode, and the GPU loaded fine all 7 times. I did skip one commit towards the end because it was purely a documentation update, and it wound up being cut out in the next step anyway. I'm attaching the bisection log too, and I'll keep an eye on my emails for any updates.

I'm not sure what the next step in the process is, but I really appreciate everyone's help, and I'm glad it looks like we've finally pinned this thing down.
