Well, not exactly, although I'm definitely getting close to some sort of
satisfactory solution, and I appreciate all the helpfull replies.
Relying on this BIOS setting is still not good, because yet another
motherboard I've just tested today does not have it (or at least in no
evident form anyway).

Now I'd like to ask, is quality reliable fix still wanted in mainline or
rather not? Because I'll personally do my best to create/find a good fix
anyway, but if it is of zero interest for mainline, I'll probably not
invest much time into communicating it. My understanding was that
default rule is "if broken go fix it" but due to the age of both code
and hardware, maybe it is considered frozen or some such (I'm just not
aware really).
Thank you,
Regards,
Nikolai
