Thanks for reporting.  Before investigating further, a few questions:

The Debian kernel team does not maintain 3.0.y any more.  Does a 3.2.y
or 3.4.y kernel reproduce the problem?

You mentioned that this is a regression.  What is the oldest broken
kernel and newest non-broken one you know of?  (/var/log/dpkg.log
might help to jog memory, and there are precompiled historical kernels
at http://snapshot.debian.org/ if you need to test some.)

Can you more precisely describe the symptoms?  If I had the same
hardware as you, what steps should I perform to reproduce the bug,
what is the expected result, what happens instead, and how does the
difference indicate a bug?

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
