So I'm digging through the CHANGELOGS between the mainline kernels 3.8.13.8 and 3.11.3 (which correspond to the mainline kernels for the working and broken kernel).
There's only two kernels with changes to PCMCIA (which strikes me as odd, but hey), and both contain the SAME change: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.9.11 commit 22b8276166bdb3daf7858f6cca7d315fdcced175 Author: Joachim Eastwood <manab...@gmail.com> Date: Thu Jun 6 10:24:14 2013 +0200 pcmcia: at91_cf: fix gpio_get_value in at91_cf_get_status commit e39506b466edcda2a7e9d0174d7987ae654137b7 upstream. Commit 80af9e6d (pcmcia at91_cf: fix raw gpio number usage) forgot to change the parameter in gpio_get_value after adding gpio validation. https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/ChangeLog-3.10.2 commit 5eb2698932989f855e3427b0860771611f831a69 Author: Joachim Eastwood <manab...@gmail.com> Date: Thu Jun 6 10:24:14 2013 +0200 pcmcia: at91_cf: fix gpio_get_value in at91_cf_get_status commit e39506b466edcda2a7e9d0174d7987ae654137b7 upstream.

Turns out that the machine won't boot with linux-image-3.11.0-12-generic, but *will* boot with the old ringtail kernel linux-image-3.8.0-31-generic! I created two screenshots, one shows the point where the boot process with the Saucy kernel stops (after enabling the swap), and another picture of the boot process with the ringtail kernel AFTER successfully enabling the swap. This bug report was generated on 3.8.0-31, since I can't get 3.11 to boot...
