It's the stock kernel from Debian/Squeeze; 2.6.32:

Linux thukpa 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 25 18:02:11 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can potentially try a 2.6.37 RC kernel, but that might take a bit as
this is my work box and now I have a working solution it's harder to
justify downtime fiddling with it.
