[ltp] partial success w/ radeon-patch on T41

[Ulrich Kuehn]

A short update: I just tried 2.6.11-rc3. The sound seems to be gone, and
also the slower glxgears value seems gone, although I get even after a
fresh boot only about 690 FPS (with 2.6.10 its about 712).

Interestingly, I need to reload uhci_hcd (not only ehci_hcd) in order to
have my usb mouse working after sleep. With 2.6.10 this wasn't
necessary.

Regards,
Ulrich
