No. :-)

Without this patch (==vanilla 2.6.37-rc5) I got 2 more OOPSe by
restarting hal around 20 times.
After applying this patch, I did not see a single OOPS after 100 restarts.
So it looks like the fix is correct.

Using the card also still works, but I think I found out what was
causing sporadic shutdown problems with 37-rc kernels: When I try to
exit tvtime it gets stuck in an uninterruptible D state and can't be
killed. And that seems to mess up the shutdown.

But this happens independent with or without your patch and looks like
different problem.

SysRQ+W provided this stack trace, maybe someone seens an obvious bug...:
