I have been using 2.6.21.1. It seems working well, that is, all my
disk partitions are mapped as "/dev/sda*" and the performance looks
good. After I upgrade to 2.6.22.5 with the exact same configuration,
all the disk device turn to "/dev/hda*" and the performance degrade
obviously.
While I boot with 2.6.21.1, the logs regarding disk are:

While booting with 2.6.22.5, the logs are:
Aug 26 09:30:04 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:1f.2[B]

It seems the dramatic change in libata.c incurs this failure.
It looks like you have some CONFIG_IDE options enabled in your kernel
configuration that result in drivers/ide trying to drive part or all of
that controller, preventing libata from doing so. Likely the easiest
thing to do is just set CONFIG_IDE=n entirely..
