Step one is to check whether -linus master has the same issues. My branch
is based upon

commit 37be944a0270402f9cda291a930b0286f6dc92f5
Merge: ca836a2 1717c0e
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Fri Oct 28 05:54:23 2011 -0700

    Merge branch 'drm-core-next' of
    git://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/linux'
 
If that doesn't show the same issue, can you please run a bisect (only 13
commits) to find out which patch introduced this?

Thanks, Daniel
