Odd. I didn't think Andi's code worked well enough that we could hit anything but the default trust the BIOS case. I guess someone had the right hardware to perform that miracle. >> I really don't care how we do it, or in what timeframe.

That is where I figured we were when we first hit this bug. I have always found the ways of stable tree maintainers to be mysterious. Sometimes holding back code with minimal risk sometimes insisting we cleanup things instead of reverting things. So I have just decided to write the code and let other people figure out when it should be merged :) And of course when my code has problems to address them.
