Hello, with current git kernel (bd381934) I see a GPF when the snd_hda_intel driver is loaded; the regression is recent, 0eca52a works fine. The machine is an ASUS laptop (F3Sa), this is the sound card:

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)

The codec is ALC660-VD (snd_hda_codec_realtek). The is the GFP message:
