Thanks. I prefer not to apply patches conditionally. However, it should be sufficient to use the mtmsr instruction rather than mtmsrd; the bit we're trying to change is in the bottom 32 bits of the MSR in any case. Please could you test version 2.02~beta2-21 when it becomes available in unstable (I'm preparing the upload now), and report how it behaves for you?
