I can verify 6.10 does not have it.  Unfortunately I'm having trouble 
loading new firmware to verify/not verify other versions.  The original 
author of the change for Lucent-specific bits says 8.10 works but hasn't 
tested other versions.  I'd like to narrow the firmware revs to only enable 
this for known-good revs but that may take a bunch of work...
