19 feel like bisecting it further ? you can clone:
20 https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/
21
22 and then run:
23 $ git bisect start v3.19 v3.18
24
25 and then try building/booting each combo it comes up with. if it fails,
26 run `git bisect bad`. if it passes, run `git bisect good`. if it does
27 not compile (sometimes that happens), you can use `git bisect skip`.
