The newest kernel uploaded for Maverick contains the following:

I'm guessing these were meant for the backport of 2.6.35 to Lucid, where those chipsets are already blacklisted in the normal kernel. In Maverick, it doesn't make sense to blacklist them because the newer version of xserver-xorg-video-intel requires KMS. So these changes should be reversed.
