  The problem is already fixed according to...
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/01/linux_samsung_laptop_fix_advice/
but the fix may take a while to reach the mainstream kernel.  I'd prefer
to avoid UEFI altogether.  UEFI is proof positive that those of us who
ranted against Palladium and "Trusted Computing" and the "Fritz chip"
were not paranoid, after all.
