I just tested the v4 against 3.15.0-rc5-next-20140512+ on mustang
board , looks ethernet becomes very unstable with the change,
sometimes I saw:

[  301.057140] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual
address ffffffc800a7cd70

Also network may  become unusable after a while from booting.

Another oops log found during reboot:
