In my case I installed the new kernel on a desktop and on a laptop. On the desktop the nvidia driver worked fine until I tried to use bzflag, which runs in, I think it is, framebuffer mode. On the laptop, the wifi stopped working.
I didn't have time to investigate what was happening. Reverting to the old kernel solved the problems.
My 2 cents.

after updates on mga2, i had quite some strangeness: first of all, after a
little while of not yet rebooting, i got a complete hang of my system, SysRq
keys worked, it appeared to be a CPU stall...
after reboot, my mouse didn't work. i replugged and then it did work.
looking through the logs on what happend, i saw the kswapd0 info, and later
the hang in the form of continuous CPU stall INFO. but keyb/mouse hadn't
worked (keyboard is PS2)
I did however note the following when booting up:

hmm... could the loading of ohci before ehci explain that mouse issue?
now, i admit to not rebooting right away, but this is likely less than an hour
after doing the updates...
