Webupd8 reported this power management fix for the 2.6.38 Linux kernel regression:

Add the following to the boot grub line "pcie_aspm=force"

My question - how does this suggested fix differ from this hint from powertop:

Suggestion: Enable Device Power Management by pressing the P key, which execute the following action:

find /sys/devices/pci* -path "*power/control" -exec bash -c "echo auto > '{}'" \;
