Would it make sense for me to log this problem in bugzilla? There seems to 
be a similar issue with equal hw:

<http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14534>

did these fixes ever go upstream? Are they scheduled to go into the 
stable rebuilds of 2.6.32 ? The patches mentioned in there, are these the 
ones I already tried that didn't solve my problem?
