This is a really quick and not necessarily rigorous update.
I did run into trouble:

I went for 'git checkout _master_' - got something like 3.11.0-rc1+;
the patches (including the last one, debug-3), worked OK.
It's possible my "standard" '.config' file (circa 3.7.0-rc4+) I'd been using
for the tests (without any of my "massaging" it during the 'make menuconfig' -
for lack of time and energy) was a bit too long in the tooth for the "master"
kernel to "adapt" to.
The end result was after boot-up I couldn't even go into X at all and the
system got almost frozen and unmanageable.  In short, as you'd put it,
nonsensical.
Right now I'm back on my tried and true 3.7.10 (i.e., standard <-> git), the
last "official" with the HDMI sound, ready to resume the patches and any tests
in a more organized and less frantic way.  For better or worse, that will
happen not sooner than Wednesday, July 24, 6-7 PM EDT.
At least you get a chance to go over them mmio traces more thoroughly (if you
haven't done that already).
