[Tejun, Jeff, added you since the bisect points to your patch.]

Sorry, mail glitch means I lost a couple of emails...

I said:
Compile warnings and a new regression: hang on boot during sata_promise
detection...

It turns out that the hang times out; it does boot after a while. It's missing 4
of my SATA disks though.
[in turn this means I can't test the hibernate regression against -rc4. But
testing that regression against a862b5c8cd5d847779a049a5fc8cf5b1e6f5fa07 shows
it is still there. Do I get a bonus for finding 2 regressions?]]

I also bisected and got:
Bisecting: 0 revisions left to test after this
[464cf177df7727efcc5506322fc5d0c8b896f545] libata: always use polling SETXFER

According to marc, Mikail said:
Please give us some details about your sata_promise problem:
- describe your hardware (Promise chip version, mainboard, chipset, etc)
I have a Promise TX-4 and onboard via-sata.

- which was the last kernel version prior to 2.6.22-rc4 that worked
2.6.22-rc3
- the kernel messages up to the hang, if you can capture them
Easier once I learned patience...
