Yes your patch fixes it perfectly - it's a better version of an almost
working fix I hacked up after my previous email.

Some patch review comments below as well.

maybe u8 instead of int?

Yeah, I like that.

also a comment - /* mapping of port_idx to the implemented port */

Okay.

Use plural form (0 ports), or negative (No ports) instead.

And, okay.

Jeff, we've been ignoring PI in ahci_host_init()...

	for (i = 0; i < probe_ent->n_ports; i++) {
#if 0 /* BIOSen initialize this incorrectly */
		if (!(hpriv->port_map & (1 << i)))
			continue;
#endif

The comment suggests that some BIOSen initialize PI incorrectly which will probably result in undetected ports. Is this true? Would it be dangerous to honor PI on some controllers? If so, PI should be used only for controllers which does non-linear port mapping.

Thanks.
