So it appears that you can recreate this much more quickly than DaveJ can recreate his issue.
The two issues may be entirely unrelated, but the it is certainly quite possible that they have some relation to each other, and the timing is intriguing, in that 3.17 seems to be the first kernel release this happened in.
So at this point I think I'd ask you to just go back to your bisection that you apparently already started earlier. I take it 3.16 worked fine, and that's what you used as the good base for your bisect?
Even if it's something else than what DaveJ sees (or perhaps *particularly* if it's something else), bisecting when it started would be very worthwhile.
There's 13k+ commits in between 3.16 and 3.17, so a full bisect should be around 15 test-points. But judging by the timing of your emails, you can generally reproduce this relatively quickly..
