Ah-ah! (again)

That's (almost) good news... It really looks like a weird interaction between 
the kernel and the hardware. The problem now is how to manage this, I can't 
force people to have 2.6.10 kernel. :-)

I see two possibilities:
1) Disabling this feature by default, allowing to activate it thanks for a 
kconfig key somewhere...
2) Disabling it only if you have a kernel version <= 2.6.10 ...

I'm not sure which approach is the best, I dislike them both... Maybe somebody 
has a better idea...

Regards.
