^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If you were running a vanilla kernel you'd get full support from the mailing
list. If you were running plain ck8 I could offer you limited support. But
adding your own patches makes it impossible for us to know what your code
looks like and that you haven't merged incompatible code wrongly. Only the
person who merged the code would be able to provide you with support.

My advice to you is try a mainline kernel release that has the features you
need and see if the bug exists. Then you'll get more response from the
mailing list.

Cheers,
Con
