I'm happy to open up a bug and include some logs, will do it in just a moment

I mean - I totally understand the hesistance with the lack of debug info, I'll
go open up an issue with said info in a bit. FWIW is a machine currently being
sold with Linux pre-installs which is expected to work out of the box, so it's
not exactly an uncommon laptop to be running Linux. Also I don't have any
problem with us trying to fix the issue before flat out disabling things - I
sent the revert hoping that would happen, and also because I needed to write
the revert anyway since I had to disable this in Fedora's kernel.
