    James Simmons, iirc. It does however look correct. Maybe the problem
    is lower down in the card-specific drivers rather than here? Before
    backing out the change, I think we need more investigation of the cause
    of the problem.

    (I think this may be a case where the change fixes some problems on some
    drivers, but seems to break others).
