Broken again :o(
In a better world, you would narrow the suspect with a git bissect [1]
between v2.6.15 and v2.6.16.
As an alternate solution, you may try the patches available at
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/8139 against v2.6.15,
starting from 0001 and going to 0006 (of course you can revert the
patches against v2.6.16 from 0006 to 0001 too). I can't claim that
each step will compile though.
