Congrats to all the maintainers I've hassled the last few -mm's (in particular,
Alan Cox, Roman Zippel, and John Stultz) - this one came up basically OK..

1) The timer issues with booting with 'vga=794' causing slow console output
and confusing the error correcting seem resolved - the problem section of
early userspace is back to the 2-3 seconds it used to be, rather than 2-3 mins.

2) libata is now setting the speeds sanely for both IDE devices:

(Alan - I *did* have to apply the piix_pata_ops to ich_pata_ops one-liner,
that didn't seem to be in -rc1-mm1).
