Comment 89 for bug 245779

Sim, this patch was part of 2.6.26, so beside all other things that have gone into 10.04 (which is based on 2.6.32) this is part of it as well. As all the comments from various sources indicate this problem was not seen after 2.6.26, so 10.04 should be fine.

The patches test kernels would be for people that need to stay on Hardy and want to see whether this would fix the issue in Hardy (though there is no guarantee). As stated above, there is no clear reason what would have caused the problem between the two mentioned kernel versions, but on the other hand the patch found handled some lockup problem. But that is all things to consider for Hardy.
