I've done more testing. The problem occurs beginning with the 3.13.0-139 kernel; the 3.13.0-138 kernel is unaffected. The 4.4.0-109 kernel also has the problem, but I've not tested others in this series. Links to relevant test results:

* 3.13.0-138:

* 3.13.0-139:

* 4.4.0-109:

The problem is with the miscellanea/fwts_test result. Note that the test fails in all cases (a near-100% false alarm rate is why we dropped the test); however, the failures with 3.13.0-138 and before did not result in a system reboot. Beginning with 3.13.0-139, the test results in a system reboot, which is recorded in the test results as "Failed after resuming execution."
