The PPA approach is best. We're aware that there is stuff in 2.6.33 that may require backporting onto 2.6.32 and we're currently trying to figure out how to handle it. So for now, if people just verify that booting the mainline kernel solves it will be enough. I think Intel can give us guidance on what to backport so no need to have bug reporters use up their time bisecting on this issue. Thanks for raising the issue though.
