Supposed to show mixed source/assembler I believe.

The only counter-indication I have is that the 3.10 kernel I've been 
running has
never had any issues, nor the default 2.6.x kernel that came with it.  I 
might have
just gotten lucky with exactly what those compiled to though I suppose?

I've got 2 of these boxes, so I'll update the kernel on the second one 
to this version
as well and see if it reproduces there.

Thanks a lot for the fast diagnosis.
