My patch simply puts back what was removed. Please see:

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=4d5fc58dbe34b78157c05b319669bb3e064ba8bd#patch20

It was probably broken before. It is probably broken now. It probably
never did the right thing. However, we don't have any hardware to test
with and we think it is probably never used in real life.

Is it worth doing more than putting back the original code?
