Keep the FC6 kernel at 2.6.20 or move it to 2.6.21?

I did the same thing in rawhide for now too (in the run-up to F7,
I wanted it to get some testing before we ship, as that's how we'll
end up shipping probably).   After F7 is out, I'll disable that patch
again in rawhide, run with MSI on by default for a week or so, and
see if its any better.  I'll also keep an eye on upstream discussion
in this area as people are working on improving the heuristic to
decide if its supported/useful/necessary.

Aparently some of the newer Apple hardware _needs_ it enabled too.
For every case to do something one way, there's always one to
do the opposite it seems.
