Just a quick update, down too the last few bisect's building them to be 100% sure.

Last Good: 5b28a2ae632698758bf84364a5d87c6fcaaff03b

    disable CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE due to possible memory corruption on module unload

    While debugging the e1000e corruption bug with Intel, we discovered
    today that the dynamic ftrace code in mainline is the likely source of
    this bug.

This leaves as the first possible bad commits:

    x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it

    Most if not all x86 platforms have an RTC device, but sometimes the RTC
    is not exposed as a PNP0b00/PNP0b01/PNP0b02 device in PNPBIOS or ACPI:

        http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11580
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=451188

    It's best if we can discover the RTC via PNP because then we know
    which flavor of device it is, where it lives, and which IRQ it uses.

    But if we can't, we should register a platform device using the
    compiled-in RTC_PORT/RTC_IRQ resource assumptions.

    UBUNTU: SAUCE: Add back in lost commit for Apple BT Wireless Keyboard

    OriginalAuthor: Dean McCarron
    OriginalLocation: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=473118CB.5090804%40mercuryresearch.com
    Bug: #162083
    Ignore: no
    This patch was present in Hardy, but got dropped by accident in Intrepid.
    I've submitted it upstream so it can get into Jaunty, but will need to be
    carried as extra baggage for now in Intrepid.

Since c25072126a591fec9481197aab361469661c050e only changes a keyboard, it's more then likely, 0020f5cf510e3225fc4b0eefdcfdc0caba2f2097 "x86: register a platform RTC device if PNP doesn't describe it" does not work on Intel Atom 330 D945GCLF2.

Like i mentioned, i'm building these last few commits to be 100% sure, will have a final update tomorrow.
