Let me suggest the following patch for going back to default to polling
mode in 2.6.16.
The idea is to get this patch into 2.6.16, immediately revert it in
Len's ACPI tree, and properly fix all issues before 2.6.17.
This way, there will be less regressions when the changed default is in
a stable kernel.

<-- snip -->
The changed default seems to cause regressions (see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5989).
Let's change the default back to polling mode for one more stable
kernel.
