Reliable lock-ups (and "within 1 hour" is quite quick too) are actually
great.

Can I bother you to just bisect it?

Sure, but it will take a little while since building + booting +
starting the test + waiting for the lockup takes a fair bit of time
for each kernel and also due to the fact that my git skills are pretty
limited, but I'll figure it out (need to improve those git skills
anyway) :-)

I'll be back with more info.
