IIRC, there is a hardware issue here. If it is the case, please describe
it and refer to an errata if any.

Also Evan Benn commented your code and asked a couple of questions [1],
please answer before reposting a new version.

Comments ignored == patch ignored

Please check out the patch sent by Evan Benn [2], if you agree, ack it.
