I tried to bisect the bug, which failed because there were too many 
kernels not booting with other problems, I guess bisecting just fails in 
the merge window.

With CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON the output looks different, unfortunately 
netconsole stops before those are transmitted.

As there are always some lines about e1000 in the backtraces, I tried to 
boot without LAN cable connected, and it worked, and crashed afterwards 
when I plugged the cable in, with a bug in net/core/dev.c.

I will search on tomorrow, as it is getting quite late now.

Should I copy the messages with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON by hand, or are 
just some parts important?
