When exactly was this regression introduced? I think this code never really accepted the MSI settings from the firmware, so changing that behavior might affect a lot of systems. So i'm uneasy about applying this fix this late in the .29 cycle, but marked it for -stable backport so it could hit 2.6.29.1 if it stays problem-free.
