So I went through the changes from 2.6.27-rc5 until the SHA1
ID ec0c15afb41fd9ad45b53468b60db50170e22346 and there were
definitely no E1000 or E1000E changes during that time.

Some recent comments on [1] seem to indicate that this is somehow coupled
into prior problems/panics with Intel graphics.

My current suspicion in all of this is either the GEM kernel patches
or recent X server.


I don't think OpenSUSE was shipping any of the GEM bits.

Good data point, can someone confirm this? Also, what X server version
is the effected OpenSUSE shipping?
