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.

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.
