Argh. The fact is that it has actually been broken since forever,
but I suppose *something* must have been masking the problem for
you on earlier kernels, well, assuming you didn't actually hit the
problem before 4.9.

You can give backporting the custom legacy cursor path a try,
but I'm not sure how badly it depends on other things. So not
sure a backport is entirely trivial. Maarten, any thoughts?
