2.1.28 breaks APM

Well, I just grabbed the 2.1.28 patch, looks like some of the changes
broke the APM support... here's the messages I'm seeing:

Mar 4 03:40:24 ministry kernel: Exception at [<c01738f9>] (c01a958b)
Mar 4 03:40:24 ministry last message repeated 2 times
Mar 4 03:40:24 ministry apmd[93]: apm_open() failed: No such device

ministry:~ > cat /proc/apm
(spews a constant stream of garbage)
ministry:~ > apm -s
Cannot open APM device: No such file or directory

This is with my configs unchanged from 2.1.27 (which worked fine).
CPU is a Cyrix P166+, Asus TVP4 MB.
Any ideas what's broken here? I'll try and run through the patch and
track down what broke it, but I'd appreciate any feedback from those who
know...
