Ok, it took a while, but I think I have this thing somewhat bisected.

Starting at commit 4cc4d24efce4672f9b0e7fa27963770ae602998f, I see
hard-drive
issues. Commits right before this (in git bisect) crash in the
networking code
quite often, but the hard-drive logic seems to work at least.

In later builds (ie, -rc3), the crashes and warnings are different, but
they have something to do with the file system. It's difficult to bisect
it any better because of all the instability...

I tried today's kernel (39-rc4+) and it seems much more stable on my
system. So, I think the problem must be fixed. It appears it was not
fixed in the plain 39-rc4, for what that's worth.

Thanks,
Ben
