I applied the patch to the mm and yes, we have no more hangs! The bad news
is the application gets no notification that there has been any error in the
drive subsystem. I have only had one instance that I got a notification
back, but this was due to me adding a BUG_ON statement prior to the PRINTKs.
Here's the details of what occurs: With the application running, and I
unplug the drive, my app still tries to read and write because it has gotten
no error from the SG calls. Is there a way that we can notify the kernel
that this device is dead and cause all future accesses to result in an
error?
I have had great difficulty getting the PRINTKs to output anything for this
specific error, yet I've been able to get other PRINTKs in the IDE-IO.C to
output. I have attached the messages that do result.

The -mm patches live on kernel.org in pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/
The patch you want is the one to drivers/ide/ide-io.c although be aware
it will make non PCI ATA controllers crash on errors if applied. The
"right" fix for this is probably to have a hwif->flush_data() function
that defaults to try_to_flush_leftover_data() so that the knowledge
involved is not hacked into the ide core but kept in the driver.
