I commented origin.patch and mm.patch in series file, reverted xfs patches,
fixed libata build, deselected unionfs.

Here is a patch for libata

And to think I went through all those hoops just to avoid *this* ... :-(
Anyway, please apply the attached patch and let's verify if we're both
actually bit by the same bug. A screenshot of my case is available at:
