the patch below is a blind shot into the dark: it turns on MMIO for the
sata_nv driver. But be careful with it - this turns on a probably
totally untested mode in the driver and thus may damage your data. (It
might not even work at all because the driver might not be ready for it
- Jeff?). I'd suggest to first boot into single-user mode with all
filesystems readonly mounted.
on the low chance of this patch actually working, the interesting thing
would be to check whether the latencies occur in MMIO mode too? (if they
do then please send us the new latency traces too.)
