Yes, that is a temporary fix for the problem.

bcm1250 PCI still have issues though.  I have not looked into it.

What is troubling me most is either rockhopper nor malta works on 2.6.
With rockhopper I had to disable cache in order to run.  I
suspect there is something fundamental still not quite right, possibly
only affecting cache noncoherent systems.

More debugging fun ...
