Yes, the patch works well on my Dell, and I've got several follow-up patches to Brad's. During the last i8k refresh (http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/2/24/11), not everything made it into mainline, so i8k is due for another facelift.
Needs the following in order to work correctly on my Inspiron E1705:
Add DMI Product name to i8k for Dell MP061 hardware (Inspiron 9400/E1705)
