   So do I understand correctly that the kernel was no changed while   
   noticing this behaviour change? In this case please do roll back as   
   well first the chromium version.   
      
   If not please do downgrade to the preivous kernel you were running and   
   see if you can trigger the problem. If you only by chaning the kernel   
   then are able to trigger the problem in one version and not in the   
   other this might be a good start for a bisect of upstream versions.   
      
   Let's clarify first the above.
