I have received exactly zero reports of 2.2 problems, and as the 2.2 maintainer I would have expected more (I delete 2.2 + ide-patch reports). My suspicion is the problem requires UDMA to occur, or to occur with any probability.
The real concern (as with all of these things) is going to be what the workaround does to performance - as measured in frames/second for most folks ;)
