If we add it for specific devices, aren't vendors going to assume that
future versions of that device will also be able to rely on this
behaviour? I'm very reluctant to add whitelisting - I suspect it makes
more sense for us to just be compatible with Windows. My experiments
with the T61 suggested that it was possible to get everything working
without this, but I'll need to go back and check what the behaviour
actually was to be sure.
