Olie, to save you some compiling I have packaged three test kernels
that you may check. They are at http://www.kvante.info/855GMfreeze/ .
They are for the following commits:

855gmtest490-git50afc60: USB: sl811-hcd: Fix device disconnect:
855gmtest500-gitc10bea0: drm/i915: Check that the relocation points to within...
855gmtest800-git1934acb: drm/i915: Handle ERESTARTSYS during page fault

The first one is the last commit before a bunch of drm-related
commits. The second one is in the middle of those drm-related commits
and the last one is after all drm-related commits. There is a good
chance that the first does not freeze, the last freezes and the middle
one is completely open.

Again, all the commits are listed on
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-2.6.31.y.git;a=shortlog;h=a2822cac80be9e7fc83eaf9b7d17f169eabd4c99
.

If you find that the first one does not freeze, you use the command
git bisect good 50afc60
to tell the ongoing bisect about that. Similarly with the other ones.
This may narrow down the possible list of first bad commits.
