Possibility of fixing ASUS M51SE laptops graphic BIOS bug
in current Lucid Lynx Kernel ?

ASUS M51SE laptops graphic BIOS
assigns a wrong prefetchable mmio window to bridge 00:01.0  (etc.)

A patch - asus-m51se-pci-quirk -
to be inserted in
. arch/X86/pci/fixup.c
. arch/ia64/pci/fixup.c
has been written in spring 2009.

It works.

It has not yet been incorporated in current kernel

Is it possible to backport this corrective
in Lucid Lynx's kernel ?

Thank's in advance.

(owner of a ASUS M51SE)
