+Yep.
+
+Turns out it did more than the commit message states,
+it caused regressions with a misdetection of memory on some systems,
+rendering them unbootable...
+
+There is atleast 3 fixes for the issues this patch created queued in the
+upcoming 3.6.5...

+Of course the bug could be another one too, but that one was the first
+that came to mind....
