Thomas Christensen, bugzilla is legacy, and largely ignored by upstream developers. As well, it holds none of the information requested by upstream, as previously and fully documented to you in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181927/comments/21 . Instead, you would want to

Thomas Christensen, unfortunately you did not follow the instructions as outlined in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181927/comments/21 . All your results were in the downstream Ubuntu kernel, not the upstream mainline one. Hence, your post would most likely be promptly
