Yes sorry about that I meant to Cc the regressions list, not you personally,
but the auto-completion picked the wrong address-book entry
(and I did not notice this).

So I have been trying 6.0.0 with d3a7051841f0 doing a whole bunch of
reboots + general use and that seems stable, then I reverted it and
the very first boot of the kernel with that broke again, so I'm
pretty sure that d3a7051841f0 fixes things.

So d3a7051841f0 seems to do more then just fix the WARN().

So lets try to get d3a7051841f0 added to the official stable series
ASAP (I just noticed that Mark Pearson from Lenovo has already added it
to Fedora's 6.0.2 build.

Hans
