Some notest from IRC:

<cristian_c> jsalisbury, I can tell more: I notice that in 3.19rc6 and 3.19 stable now, and also in 3.13.0rc2 and rc3, I see in rfkill list the lack of hp-wifi interface
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, but there is only phy0
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, if for example immeditely after login I type: dmesg | tail in a terminal, I get a (back)trace
<cristian_c> simlar to a crash/kernel panic / etc...
<cristian_c> now, i try again with 3.19 stable
<jsalisbury> cristian_c, and 3.13-rc1 does not exhibit this?
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, 3.13.0rc2 and 3.13.0rc3 have also only phy0 in rfkill list output
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, I know that rc1 has got phy0 and hp-wifi interfaces, but I boot now in rc1 also
<jsalisbury> cristian_c, great, we may now be getting somewhere :-)
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, ok, tried now, 3.19 the same as 3.19rc6, trace with ioctl lines
<cristian_c> and phy0 only
<cristian_c> now, I try again with 3.13.0rc1
<jsalisbury> great
* jodh has quit (Quit: WeeChat 1.1.1)
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, ok, 3.13.rc1 tried now
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, dmesg | tail does not show trace
<cristian_c> and there are both hp-wifi and phy0 interfaces in rfkill list output
<jsalisbury> cristian_c, great, so I think we should bisect between 3.13-rc1 and 3.13-rc2. I'll start the bisect and build the first test kernel.
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, now, I test again the original bug and the regression in rc1
<cristian_c> jsalisbury, ok
