Previously, Ingo had me doing things with tip/master, but usually you had me working with v2.6.27-rc3. I should have tried tip/master as soon as I saw the discrepancy. I have some questions about what happens next: - This fix will naturally make it into v2.6.27, maybe even as soon as v2.6.27-rc5, correct? - Is there any chance I can get it into the stable 2.6.26.X updates? (Who should I ask, or are only developers allowed to lobby for this sort of thing?) - Are you worried about the potential problems of a quirk-based approach? What if many more people experience a similar regression once 2.6.26 or later appears in their distribution? I'm sure you don't want to have to write a different quirk for each individual's hardware, and this problem did not arise with the approach used for resource management in 2.6.25.
