I noticed that this bisect list didn't include Sasha Levin's followup fix:

  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c?id=c07fe5ae06

That was supposed to fix problems at registration. Is that actually
inclued in your bisection? I suppose it is, but it's quite clear that
with only 9ea927 you'd get crashes with building it statically.

I have no real idea why ieee80211_register_hw() would fail (but then
again, I'm a kernel n00b). It's apparently related to doing
platform_driver_register() before, so perhaps it's missing another
field in the struct. "unable to handle kernel paging request", is that
a normal error message if a driver fails to initialize? I would have
assumed that the kernel would't panic if a single driver fails to
initialize. Or does that mean it actually tries to access uninit'ed
memory?

I can certainly check out linux-next, build the whole thing
statically, and try to twiddle things a bit, but I'm afraid that's
just going to take a while (both because this is all new to me and I'm
working on other things ATM), so please don't hold your breath. :-)

Thanks,

Martin
