[arch-general] kernel 3.6 feedback

[Bastian Beischer]

I'm suffering from this regression:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/53
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47961

which causes my HDA intel sound to be distorted and cracky. Reverting
the change mentioned in the LKML thread fixes it. I already mailed the
Arch linux kernel maintainer about it. I'm fairly sure that this fix
should land in 3.6.1, but because I didn't want to wait I patched my
kernel myself...
