If you know of any other unresolved post-2.6.36 regressions, please let us know
either and we'll add them to the list.  Also, please let us know if any
of the entries below are invalid.
I'm sorry if I'm overlooking something, but as far as I can see the regression
reported here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/24/457

is not in the list (update on that report: reverting that commit on top of
2.6.37 fixes the issue).
Ok, added Keith and Dave to the cc, since they are the signers of that commit.

After some time, I also ended up finding an earlier report in the kernel bugzilla
which I think is the same regression (it was bisected to the same commit):

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24982

but I do not see it in the list either, even though it's marked as a
regression in the bugzilla.

The issue was also present in 2.6.38-rc2 last time I tested.
Just to confirm, can you also check -rc3? I'm pretty sure nothing has
changed, but there were a few drm patches after -rc2, so it's alsways
good to double-check.
The problem I reported in the bugzilla above is still present in
2.6.38-rc3.  I'm pretty sure that's the same issue as Carlos' case.
I added https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24982 to the list of
post-2.6.36 regressions for further tracking.

Thanks,
Rafael
