Unfortunately I cannot get it to freeze on demand. The normal kernel
will freeze after anywhere from a few minutes to many hours.  The
lp1227202v1 kernel froze for me when I tried it, but I didn't keep notes
about when or what.  The logs say nothing.  I assume that it is a kernel
issue since it is so thorough a freeze.

 linux-image-3.11.0-7-generic_3.11.0-7.14~lp1227202v1_amd64.deb

I recall that Phill mentioned on the 18th that he could get it to freeze
on demand by running some game.  That might be our main test.
