There were absolutely no changes that would cause this in 3.10.0-4 compared to -3 (only 3 patches, one for hyperv, one to enable dynamic debugging, and one adding a pci id for a realtek sd card reader..). Can you attach /var/log/kern.log and /var/log/kern.log.1 that will have historical dmesg info from the failure?
