It's really hard to keep track of all this, so it's likely that some things
will still sneak through.
- Reuben Farrelly's oops in make_class_name(). Could be libata, or scsi
or driver core.
- A few problems with ehci. For example Grant Coady went oops loading
the module. Probably USB, maybe solved now, but there are
interactions...
- gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch is a problem, but
wasn't in this tree.

Yes, Martin is reporting failures on a few machines. Hopefully he's
working out whether gregkh-pci-x86-pci-domain-support-the-meat.patch was
the culprit here. If so, I'd say we're good to go. If that's _not_ the
source then we just don't know where the failure is coming from.
All very vague, sorry.
