On the Shuttle AN35N, the C1 disconnect option default is auto.  If you're
talking about this board, or another board Shuttle seemingly fixed, then I
can tell you that I haven't been able to get my to hang with vanilla kernels.

As for your patch, I get a fast timer, and gain about 1 sec per 5 minutes.
The only patch that seemed to work without a fast timer so far was the one 
removed by Linus in a testing version.  The AN35N has the timer override 
bug.

Attached is the dmidecode for the AN35N.  Note: onboard sound may be disabled.
