That's a merge, isn't it?

I'd rather check what the pci/misc branch was based on and then bisect that
branch.

If you do

$ git show fed2451

you'll see (among other things) that this indeed is the PCI branch merged
by that commit and that it is based on

3b2f64d00c46 Linux 3.11-rc2

So, you can do

$ git bisect 3b2f64d00c46..fed2451

and see which of the commits in there introduced the problem you're seeing.

Note: Test fed2451 itself *first* and if that is bad already, then the merge
itself was problematic, in which case please let me know.
