The most likely cause is probe-order changes as a result of
an ACPI code update (first interface <-> second interface),
and/or routing code changes.

Without bsearching a source code delta that caused the problem
(basically, you need to try log2(number_of_days)+1 kernels),
and then doing a CVS diff, it's going to be impossible for
anyone other than Glenn to isolate the change that's causing
his problem.  An it'd be a lot of work, because it could also
have been rc changes.
