This is actually already worked around (for some models) in linux-2.6.31-git14, but a backport for the current Ubuntu kernels would be great.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13745 http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/35062/
The above patch is specifically for the "Hewlett-Packard HP G7000 Notebook PC". In my case, the DMI_PRODUCT_NAME is "HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC".
As per https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=490684, the follow models are also affected: * HP Pavilion dv7-1174ca * HP Pavillion-dv7t 1000
I'd imagine it affects a number of other notebooks in HP Pavilions range.
