Appears to work just fine here (compiles, boots and I'm
typing this email :).  The build warnings below seem new
to me - but I guess they're harmless...

 CC      drivers/ata/libata-sff.o
drivers/ata/libata-sff.c: In function 'ata_pci_init_one':

'pci_request_region', declared with attribute warn_unused_result

drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:1082: warning: ignoring return value of

Thanks, ciao,
