Gah. I just wasted too much time bisecting down my logitech wireless
keyboard not working to within a few commits of this, and decided to
just try your patch.

And yes, it makes my keyboard work.

Dmitry, should I just apply the patch, or should we revert and use
other bits? Please, this needs to be resolved, I stopped merging when
I noticed this problem..
