[Bug 187671] Re: sdhci module hangs Everex StepNote 2053T

[pablomme]

I should add, regarding justifiability, that the Ubuntu kernel is
already maintaining a patch for a related bug (bug #90271). That patch
forces all 8139too devices into PIO mode instead of MMIO mode, the
latter being the default in the upstream kernel. Arne's patch makes that
other patch obsolete, and is entirely focused on the machines affected
by this bug (and 90271, which was a different consequence of the same
problem).

I think this is a positive effect, in that people using the 8139too
module will get MMIO --as intended upstream-- and no other side effects
should be seen on computers other than the laptops associated with this
bug. The patch could be justified solely on these grounds.
