Hi,
thank you for your replay and the effort you invest in helping me out
with this problem.
Today, I further debuged the problem and reverted this part of your commit
(without understanding the actual code):

I applied this change to the current 3.8 kernel and it worked!
If you need more test results, just send me patches and I'll try them :)

Best regards,
Jonas
