So far, I've had two more hangs under 3.7, but in general it was pretty ok. 3.8 didn't hang in the short time I tried it, but it lost the network card pretty soon after booting, spamming the kernel log with lots of "atl1c 0000:02:00.0: PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space for 1522 bytes" (with different sizes). Google gives https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=918393 which indicates that the just released kernel 3.8.4 includes a fix for that. I've also found https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.8/ChangeLog-3.8-1 saying "2) PCI dma mapping errors in atl1c are not checked for and this cause hard crashes for some users, from Xiong Huang." which seems to be the cause of the broken network, and also might be a fix for the hangs in 3.7.
