It might not be easier to bisect because stable is a seperate branch than the next -rc1.
And that above got fixed in -rc1, perhaps in the same merge window where the new different
issues were introduced. So you'll probably need to shutdown the above issue in order to
bisect the others.

What you can do is to bisect and then before every build apply the patches that
fix the above issue in -stable, those that I just enumerated to gregkh in our
discussion with him. There are only 4. Just try to apply all of them before each
build, unless they are already.

I could give you a much simpler hack but I fear it may chaoticly apply depending if
the real fixes are applied, halfway or not at all, all that with unpredictable results.
So lets rather stick to what we know to work.
