Yeah, it use to be marked broken because it broke other archs because it
has x86 specific code, but that should have been solved with the depends
on x86 (which I still need to fix so that it works for other archs).

This now looks like it broke due to kernel ABI changes, and the driver
was ignored as it was marked BROKEN due to the non-x86 issues.

In other words, it's now broken only because it was broken before ;-)
