Tested on veyron-jaq, veyron-minnie and peach-pi (well with peach-pi I didn't
reproduce the issue but at least I know doesn't breaks anything)

I'll add this patch to the chrome-platform for-next branch for the auto-builders
to play with and launch some few more automated tests. If all goes well I'll
queue this patch to chrome-platform-5.2.
