I bisected it again and applied at every step those 2 commits, if commit 
2e12978 was in the source too.

Furthermore it was necessary to use a fresh instance of firefox every time to 
reproduce a now shomehow changed issue: the UML system wasn't longer 
reachable, neither ping nor ssh into it was possible as soon as I tried to 
point firefox to https://n22_uml/phpmyadmin/ and no crash occured any longer. 
Furthermore a previously opened ssh session to that UML hangs completely.


Bisecting gave :


git bisect badd123375425d7df4b6081a631fc1203fceafa59b2 is the first bad commit

    rwsem: Remove redundant asmregparm annotation
    
    Peter Zijlstra pointed out, that the only user of asmregparm (x86) is
    compiling the kernel already with -mregparm=3. So the annotation of
    the rwsem functions is redundant. Remove it.
