Heh. I think you mean s/fixed/worked around/.
The bugme tracking this, 3927, is a joyous muddle of patches, patches to patches, workarounds, and dueling command line options. I ported this patch, http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0504.0/1625.html, to 2.6.16-rc1 to fix my pain, but 1) it didn't work without the disable_timer_pin_1 kernel option and, 2) I don't think it's a fix so much as a workaround.
