2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>

commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db upstream.

In some BIOSes, every _STA method call will send a notification again,
this cause freeze. And in some BIOSes, it appears _STA should be called
after _DCK. This tries to avoid calls _STA, and still keep the device
present check.
