I prefer to keep them in the next tree for now, hopefully, they will go upstream in kernel 3.8

As expected, the 64 bit v3.7-rc4-raring hangs without the patch;
staging: vt6656: [BUG] out of bound array reference in RFbSetPower

I understand 12.04.2 is on kernel 3.5 which is end of life, it will need seperate patch submission.
