Hmm. I applied the commit that should fix it, but I applied it _after_
2.6.29. I was too scared to apply it late in the -rc and quite frankly
I'm not sure we should necessarily back-port it.

So I'm hoping that we can close it as "fixed", even though 2.6.29 will
have that particular regression - for those particular machines. It is,
after all, just a "where do we draw the line" kind of issue.

But I won't close it myself, and I leave it to others to argue whether it
really maybe should be back-ported after all.
