Adding in the kernel team who might be able to help more. Colin, have 
you seen / read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection?

If I had to guess, I'd be looking in the mainline tree: 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/linux.git, and the conversion table 
http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/info/kernel-version-map.html. 
Really, that wiki should have all the information you need to do the 
bisection.

Thanks for making ubuntu better by tracking this down, and good luck!
