This is a band-aid, and we'll have to extend the blacklist for other machines, but it's the best we have right now, so I think it's the right thing to do.
It's probably the same as https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31602 (Dell 1546) and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/647043
