Sorry we took so long to get to this.  Basic questions:

 - have you experienced the crashes on more than one machine?  Do you
   know of anyone else having experienced it?

 - do only a few lists of functions show up in such backtraces or do
   they seem arbitrary?

 - did the problems start after an upgrade?  If so, what was the last
   working and first nonworking version?

 - how have you been coping since then?  Is there a workaround that could
   shed light on this?

 - if you're able to boot with some version, could you attach a full
   kernel log and bugscript output (which includes lspci info, etc)?

 - any other observations?

Thanks for reporting,
Jonathan
