If many other BIOS writers believe the same thing as ours, then maybe
it might be worth fixing ... otherwise it looks like we'll need a quirk
(this machine is old, there isn't much liklihood of an updated BIOS release
for just this issue).
Tony,
As Alan suggested I think Yanmin should put together an
arch/ia64/kernel/quirks.c (similar to arch/i386/kernel/quirks.c).
Note that my worry is by opening up quirks.c to this type of fix,
vendors will be less inclined to fix other serious BIOS issues...
