This kernel version breaks b44 support an Dell Vostro laptops and maybe
others.

Arch Forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=886857

The reason and a solution is discussed here:
http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/184c7cd190ae7b5a

I have just build a new kernel26 package from abs tree with the fix in
swiotlb.c - it works well :-)

Maybe a small patch can be included into the Arch PKGBUILD, until
the kernel hackers have a working vanilla kernel again... ?
