That is correct. Linus' patch has fixed the issue on both 32 and 64 bit ProLiant platforms.

This could be fixed by my patch - you're running in 32-bit, so it's using
the "asmcall" thing in detection.

I committed my first (hackier, but simpler) patch that was tested by some
people on both 32-bit and apparently 64-bit too. It *may* fix this.
