I will try the patch on my old laptop, which need the quirks, soon as
possible but I don't know if can be in this month.

My point of view is: The stuff was already breaked in kernels before
2.6.16. And the patch is a improvement from kernel 2.6.16. Not perfect,
we now.

yap, it a risk because, drivers team tend to workaround the problems and
when we change IRQ routing, in this case correctly, workaround may blow
it.
