It seems to fix the problem, but I'm not certain, because the behaviour
started to become much less obvious after I sent this bug report (but
before I tried your diff). I would see the occasional short flicker
rather than reversions lasting nearly a second. With your diff I haven't
seen any flickers.

Going back to the Sep 9 snapshot kernel (which I was using when I filied
this bug) I tried to find things that would trigger the problem the reliably,
so I could try the same things with your diff, but I couldn't find a way
to trigger it. (Mostly I just tried vigorously scrolling in Firefox
assuming taxing the graphics card would trigger it, but that didn't
work.)
