Sounds good, and you have the opportunity to check what yum plans before
okaying it as well.

Yes, definitely.  The upstream kernel folks are constantly fixing and
meddling with stuff that could cause this.  Even if the changelog
doesn't mention e100, for example maybe this problem is actually
provoked by something in the detail of Interrupt routing or some other
subsystem.  So I would keep trying new kernels.
