I had verified with the internal code base whether this is being done,
unfortunately no and at least I had tested this patch in my lenovo
T400 machine it did not cause any issue. this might fix the issue for
the specific platform but I am not sure whether this will not cause
any problems in other platforms. these sort for Workarounds were done
based on testing in different platforms.
Adrian you have any thoughts?
