Hi all,

I wonder what exactly you are waiting for? This is a sanity check that we
disable, so no working systems could get broken by this. And every single
C8000 seems to be affected by this and is working fine with that patch. So maybe
people at HP might have a clue _why_ this is screwed, but until then I don't
see any point in waiting.

So please just add my tested-by and push this upstream soon. Since this is
basically a hardware quirk I would like to get this into stable also so we may
run vanilla 2.6.38.1 or something like that on C8000.
