  The latest kernel attached to the latest set of images does not contain a fix for this bug.
  The kernel team is working on getting this fix [1] pulled in and uploaded to -proposed, hopefully early this week. At that point, this bug will have an automatic comment added to it indicating that it has been uploaded to -proposed. I will then upload the kernel to each ec2 region in a "sandbox" bucket and ask for people here to test it, and comment that they have done so, per the SRU process [3].
  Once in -updates, the daily builds of 10.04 will pull it in, and the kernel will appear in a "testing" bucket. From there, I would then test images using that kernel and refresh them which would get it into a "ubuntu-kernels" bucket, where it would sit for ever (and never be removed).
  I currently don't expect to refresh images explicitly for this fix. The fix only addresses "phantom load". No performance is actually addressed (see John's comment #61). Instead, I'd like to hold off and release newly refreshed images in a month or so, hopefully picking up some other fixes such as (bug 634487:
t1.micro instance hangs when installing sun java). That said, I would consider manually pushing kernels to a "ubuntu-kernels" bucket so they would never be deleted, and you could rely on them being there for rebundled AMIs.
