First, Sebastian, thank you for submitting the upstream bugzilla report.
That is a great way to leverage the help and support of the mainline
kernel community and often results in a fix that will then get merged
with the Ubuntu kernel.
Unfortunately in this case (from reading the bugzilla report) this bug
is more likely the result of a faulty BIOS and not the kernel. As
Sebastian pointed out, it is not likely the patch from Alan will make it
into the mainline kernel. I'd also imagine it is unlikely that the
Ubuntu kernel team would maintain this patch locally as it's uncertain
how this change would affect other users as well as the added
difficulties that come with maintaining out of tree patches. However,
I'll reassign and defer to the kernel team for their final say in the
matter. Thanks.
