It's a perfectly safe workaround that's limited to a well-bounded set of 
machines and fixes a pretty serious problem with them. While I'd prefer 
my approach and then a removal of the existing quirk entries, Alex's 
patch makes more sense for stable. The BIOS update is as yet unreleased, 
requires either Windows or an optical drive (which some of these 
machines don't have) and is a far from discoverable solution to the 
issue.
