None whatsoever. Three people are reporting this and it's a drop-dead showstopper for a 2.6.21 release so we just have to wait until someone wakes up and thinks about it. It would be very useful if one of the reporters could perform a git-bisect search to identify the offending change, please. I would dearly like to point you at a document or web page which describes kernel-git-bisect-for-newbies, but afaik there isn't such a thing, which is a huge failing.
