I agree.

I've got a feeling that the fix for this is upstream commit
3b06b3ebf44170c90c893c6c80916db6e922b9f2 but when I wrote that patch it
depended on several other patches that aren't in the natty (or older)
kernels.

I started working on a backport, but it was getting too large. I've got
to rethink the approach and come up with a simpler fix that is suitable
for a backport.
