The commit that introduced the problem went into Linus' tree after 2.6.27, so it's not a regression from 2.6.26. In other words, 2.6.27 doesn't have the problem. It's a firmware bug in some old firmware versions that got triggered by the kernel change, not a kernel bug per se.
The commit has been reverted in Linus' tree now, so there isn't a regression from 2.6.27 any more.
Paul.
