Since there's no known regression introduced by Matthew's patch, could
it be merged? Feel free to add a

  'Tested-by: Michel Alexandre Salim <sali...@fedoraproject.org>'

line to it. I've had to run my own kernels since I got my Sony Vaio Y2

affecting other Linux users of this laptop (most of them using Kamal
