There is now a different upstream fix for this in master
(commit 33c08882c0d from Keith Packard) which also works for me. I don't know
whether you'd prefer to use that one, or the reversion I suggested.

http://git.debian.org/?p=users/smcv/xserver-xorg-video-intel.git
(the upstream fix applied as a patch instead) certainly works with my current
kernel, which is 2.6.32-27 for amd64.
