Ok, no, I'm not saying you shouldn't rewrite all the code to get rid of
it, but I think you can use a patch like mine interim as such a rewrite
is unlikely to go into 2.6.26, is it?

Yeah, true, that one needs to be done, but it could probably be done
only once when hw is probed rather than every time it is brought up.
Most likely not something you'll get to fix in 2.6.26 either though.
