the bug 
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001 
explain why _DOS is, by default, 0 and not 1.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6001#c47 
we should back to DOS=1 by default

Seems that you have same opinion that we should set _DOS to 1, by

I patch the kernel myself , because fix the problem on my compaq
nx6110 , the other Sérgio on bug 6001 , don't reply ...  

Thanks,
