Comment 3 for bug 214814

A simpler fix was provided by Matthew Wilcox on linux-pci mailing list. It is cleaner and simpler than my DMI-based patches. Matthew's suggested patch then came to the attention of Zhao Yakui on linux-acpi who reported a patch is already in the -mm tree that solves a similar report at buzilla:

"Intel SC450NX system stops working with kernels later than 2.6.22.x"

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10124

That patch has been tested and confirmed working. The patch is found at:
