But this basically means that either
a) users have to know that they need to twiddle a bit, or they get "my
device doesn't work"
or
b) distros have to maintain a list of "these devices need to have the
bit twiddled".  Which either ends up being done not at all, on a per
distro basis or based on having to have yet another callout whenever a
device is loaded.

As opposed to having the patch, in which case things work for the user
as they are going to expect.
