From a quick look, most of them look unrelated to that unfortunate bug. 
It's hard to tell for sure, of course (memory corruption can do pretty 
much anything), but I'm not seeing the 07200720.. pattern at least.

And some of them do seem to be bisected to likely culprits and/or have 
patches that are claimed to have fixed them.

That has a "reverting the commit fixes it", and a confirmation from Nick 
Bowler.

Eric, Carl: should I just revert that commit? Or do you have a fix?
This one is reported to have been fixed already.  Closed now.

This one also has a patch in Bugzilla, I think Airlie is just waiting to 
calm down his queue and already removed the dependency on the temperature 
code. DaveA?
This should be fixed by commit f8ed8b4c5d30b5214f185997131b06e35f6f7113, so
closing now.
