That's completely bogus. That commit is not in 2.6.31. It was merged in the 2.6.32 merge window.
From the original bug report:

So the problem exists with 2.6.31 already which excludes the above commit.
The above commit indeed caused problems on 64bit efi systems in 2.6.32-rc. The fix was merged between 32-rc5 and 32-rc6.
The bisect was done with:
git bisect start # good: [59a3759d0fe8d969888c741bb33f4946e4d3750d] Linux 2.6.30-rc7 git bisect good 59a3759d0fe8d969888c741bb33f4946e4d3750d # bad: [156171c71a0dc4bce12b4408bb1591f8fe32dc1a] Linux 2.6.32-rc7
while the bisect should have be done with
good 2.6.30 bad 2.6.31
William, could you please go through the bisect pain again?
Thanks,
tglx
