I must admit, I've been afraid of doing a git bisect for some time now. but after learning to do a bisect, I cant see a better solution to finding a bug(biggest issue I see is having a huge .config).
Anyways the culprit for my issue is this commit:
af6af30c0fcd77e621638e53ef8b176bca8bd3b4
reverting this on rc6 booted the machine up.
