I figured out how to do a kernel bisection manually, and isolated the first bad commit to this one:

ab1304b986468e3ef698ec4e1cb1a3d4ba080811 is the first bad commit

    iwlwifi: Remove module build requirement for Intel Wireless WiFi

    The CONFIG_IWLDVM and CONFIG_IWLMVM currently have a
    "depends on m" as its requirement forcing it to be build
    as module. This is not needed and thus just remove it.

The thing is, however, that after resetting to Ubuntu 3.19.0-13.13, and then reverting this commit (which had merge issues, but I believe I resolved them correctly) I still get the same result. I suppose I can conclude one of two things from this - either there is another independent commit which also causes this problem and occurs after the one above, or I did the merge incorrectly.

Let me know if there is more I can do to help resolve this.
