There have been quite a few.  Mainly driver stuff again:

The biggest problem is the new ACPI-based i8042 probing on Dells.  I'm
kicking myself over that because we *knew* the damn thing was busted, and
people kept on having to add i8042.noacpi=1.  We now have a three-line
work-around-it-until-we-fix-it-for-real patch.
