It's not a regression as far as I can see (ie we've always done that port
80 access for slow-down), and quite frankly, I think the code is horribly
ugly.
Using a DMI quirk for something like this is just not maintainable. Are we
going to live with doing new quirks forever? I'd rather just remove the
slowdown entirely (obviously that is not for 2.6.24 either, though!), and
drivers that then are shown to really need it could use their *own* ports.
