Thomas,
there are actually 2 patches, 1 to avoid the oops and 1 the make the driver
work on those old vaios.
The former has been included in 2.6.23 via the stable queue, the latter went in
2.6.24-rc1 exactly because it was a bit too intrusive.
I'm not sure it's really worth backporting the big patch for a couple of
reasons:
- very few are bitten by this bug, this is the 4th report I receive since
2.6.22
- sonypi is still there and functional (without meye support though)
I think it mainly depends on how long you'll have to stay with 2.6.22, if it's
going to be a long time then backport it, if not just wait to ship 2.6.24.
Of course I can help in backporting if this is your choice. ;)
