The structural patch for this from Bjorn got NACKed. AFAIK we're still
waiting for someone (Bjorn?) to decide whether to go with a simpler patch
from Rene for .27 and to push that.

For me it was possible to work around the issue by changing a BIOS
setting, but I expect it will still affect others with similar BIOS
behavior.
