That last one seems like it would be it, if the module parameter got
changed. And now I can't duplicate it at all, 3.7-rc3 works fine. Ick,
sorry for the noise, I don't know what happened. If I see the above
errors again, I'll let you know, and I'll also check the ec module
parameter first to ensure it didn't change from the default of 8.

thanks,
