alright, I applied the patch above, and have ran this a few days in 
various hotspots etc.. unfortunantly this patch does not fix the issue.
dmesg is below:
http://fpaste.org/ozCA/

from what I remember, I had all my clients doing their thing, then all

as for bisecting, I think this might take a while due to the 
inconsistancy of this(seems to show up every 4/5 boots etc..)but if I 
get some free time, I will have a try.
