TThansk for the patch, its is very much appercaited! I applied this 
earlier today, and have been continuously rebooting the machine in Azure 
ever since (every ten minutes). This has worked flawlessly, so I am very 
happy that this fixes the issue for me. I am going to leave it running 
though, just to see if anything happens. I havent examined dmesg, but I 
thould be able to see the output from the patch there to verify that its 
waiting, yes ?

cheers,
