Actually the list of modules Jakub is running is visible in his
procModules.txt attachment here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/784484/+attachment/2134277/+files/ProcModules.txt

Jakub, the ene_ir module is a handler for infrared receivers, so if
you're not using your systems' infrared capabilities, one workaround for
this problem is to blacklist the ene_ir module:

- Open a terminal
- type:
sudo pico /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
- At the very end of that file, add:
blacklist ene_ir
- Save the file by pressing ctrl-x
- Reboot the system to apply these changes.

After having done this, the problem should no longer appear, this would
confirm the bisection's findings that the faulty code is in that module.

In a short while I'll be adding links to two test kernels, one compiled
with the faulty code and one without, just to test that the code does
indeed trigger this problem. Of course ,for the test to be valid, you'll
need to remove the blacklist line we added previously, so the
troublesome module gets loaded and we can observe (or not) the bad
behavior.

Thanks so much for your patience and thorough testing through this long
process!
