Disable TSO by default until we can determine the source of the
problem.

Jeff, I've been trying to find the source of this problem in my
spare time for a few weeks now, but haven't been successful. We
turned on TSO by default in 2.6.26 after fixing a nasty performance
bug in it, but there's apparently another bug lurking.

This patch needs to be also applied to 2.6.26, hence the cc to
stable.
