The patch does make the led responsive, but it does *not* restore it to the old behavior. With the 2.6.25 kernel (and also during early boot of the device) the HDD led flashes with an intensity that reflects the amount of disk activity (possibly the amount of data transferred), very similar to the LAN led. The flashing was subtle, but very well visible both with low and with high disk activity. With 2.6.26.3 without this patch there is no flashing visible at all. With this patch applied to 2.6.26.3 I only get a very slow and steady blinking of the HDD led. A very regular, almost lazy on/off. The flashing is related to disk activity in that the led stays on when there is no activity, but any relationship to the *intensity* of the disk activity is lost. So, IMO it is an improvement, but it is definitely not a fix for the regression.
