Sorry, I disagree with the severity you assigned to this bug. It
appears that the problem only affects a minor subset of machines (for
example, I have an IPW3945 in my Dell laptop and it boots fine when
the kill switch is on -- because of that I was not able to do much
progress with this bug). Besides, you can blacklist the driver, so it
is not loaded automatically, then you should be able to boot even with
the kill switch on. It's an inconvenience, but I think it's relatively
minor to consider it release-critical.
Best regards,
