I'm not entirely sure what the install environment on the ISOs is
doing, but nobody sees this issue with a kernel after install. Thus
far recreate efforts have focused on recreating the install ISOs using
various kernels. That is working, but I don't expect other people to
easily be able to do that.

Also, our primary tester seems to have narrowed it down to breaking
somewhere between 4.1-rc5 (good) and 4.1-rc6 (bad). I'll be working
with him today to isolate it further, but the commit you pointed out
was in 4.1-rc1 and that worked. He still needs to test a 4.2-rc4
kernel with it reverted, but so far it seems to be something else that
came in with the 4.1 kernel.
