Yes, it worked fine with kernels prior to 2.6.17.

Well, I've been running I kernel with the patches from the upstream bug
report and the other ralated issue #5534 (upstream), #404143
(debian), and that seems to work perfectly here. The patches are:
- http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9255&action=view
- http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9337&action=view
- http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=8951&action=view
- http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=8952&action=view
The last of those seems to have been superseded by
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9746&action=view
(see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534).
I'm not at all a kernel expert, and I really can't say anything about
the stability of these pacthes, except that they work for me.
Greetings,
Bas.
