You compiled w/ ATA_ENABLE_PATA, right?

This is where the problem is.  Ah.. I see.  Alan's 
rework-legacy-handling patch got into mm.

=====
rework-legacy-handling-to-remove-much-of-the-cruft.patch

From: Alan Cox <alan@lxorguk.ukuu.org.uk>

Kill host_set->next
Fix simplex support
Allow per platform setting of IDE legacy bases
Turn per device tuning on so that PATA timings are fully enabled

Some of this can be tidied further later on, in particular all the
legacy port gunge belongs as a PCI quirk/PCI header decode to understand
the special legacy IDE rules in the PCI spec.

Longer term Jeff also wants to move the request_irq/free_irq out of core
which will make this even cleaner.
=====

These are patches #110-112.  Andrew, can you drop those patches for the 
time being?  I'm working on integrating those into libata #upstream now. 
 Also, please drop #113 libata_resume_fix.patch.  This shouldn't be 
necessary anymore.

Thanks.
