I just checked that fix created by Thomas Gleixner. It works.

Test method:
* apt-get source linux-image-2.6.38-8-generic
* cp /boot/config-2.6.38-8-generic linux-2.6.38/.config
* edit linux-2.6.38/.config: (disable CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO)
* cd linux-2.6.38
* make -j7, make modules_install, make install (etc.)
* reboot

booting with new kernel:

[ 1.518883] UDP-Lite hash table entries: 2048 (order: 4, 65536 bytes)
[ 1.519062] NET: Registered protocol family 1
[ 146.880175] pci 0000:04:00.0: Boot video device
[ 146.880191] PCI: CLS 64 bytes, default 64

Bug still exists (that's good, I'm able to reproduce this bug)

Fixing by patch:
* cd linux-2.6.38
* wget -O tick-broadcast.patch "http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=patch;h=07f4beb0b5bbfaf36a64aa00d59e670ec578a95a"
* patch -p1 < tick-broadcast.patch
* make clean, make -j7, make modules_install, make install (again, compile and install new kernel)
* dpkg-reconfigure nvidia-current (make install, had some problems with nvidia drivers, so I needed, to do it by dpkg-reconfigure)
* reboot

Thx chrmhoffmann.
So again. Fix created by Thomas Gleixner <email address hidden>, works for me (with everything = on).
