Hello again, I just thought I would make a quick update. I noticed that the commit that fixed the mainstream build has been backported into recent stable kernels. Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the bug on my 32-bit kernel (v3.5.0-37), and while it hasn't popped up for the current 64-bit kernel yet (v3.2.0-51), I saw it a couple of times even after the commit had been backported (v3.2.0-49).

The booting from battery work-around still seems to work though. It's just my guess, but I'm thinking there may be an even earlier patch in the mainline kernel to the power management system. Through some very indirect logic, that patch works in tandem with the memory mapping one to resolve the problem. If anyone has any suggestions about another logging option I could try or how the power source might be affecting things, I could try another bisect on the mainline kernel.
