At the moment, I trust Alan's patches more than Linus' releases (though I
did a grep in 2.2.5-ac3 for initio, and didn't find an update (relative to
2.2.5)).

2.2.X(-acY) kernels for my systems.

You may want to mail Alan privately to ask him to include the updated drivers
you're concerned about. (Or even better, provide him with a patch).
