Trying to spot a pattern here is hard. Because so far, it seems to be all Dell
users, but not all Dell core-duo laptops seem to be affected.
My precision M65 for instance is fine.
Looking at the diffs between the kernels, the only Dell specific stuff
shouldn't affect the various models seeing problems. (They key off the DMI data)
