I would appreciate any feedback I can get on the patch. It needs more
testing.

As far as I know, it has been confirmed to work on M57SLI by Ward and
fail on VMware by Corey.

It should apply cleanly to svn FILO.

Please enable DEBUG_TIMER, _BLOCKDEV, _IDE and _EXT2 in Config if it
does not work and send the output to the list.
