Hi,
latest git causes my extra disk controller to die with screaming
interrupts. Picture here:

The controller card is this one (SATA port is not in use):
05:02.0 Mass storage controller: ALi Corporation ALi M5281 Serial ATA / RAID Host Controller (rev a4) (prog-if 85)
Subsystem: ALi Corporation ALi M5281 Serial ATA / RAID Host Controller
Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 128, Cache Line Size: 512 bytes
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19
Region 0: I/O ports at c000 [size=8]
Region 1: I/O ports at bc00 [size=4]
Region 2: I/O ports at b880 [size=8]
Region 3: I/O ports at b800 [size=4]
Region 4: I/O ports at b480 [size=16]

Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B-
Status: Cap- 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 128
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 19

The driver is pata_ali. I bisected it down to:
kronos:~/src/linux-2.6.git$ git bisect bad
88ff6eafbb2a1c55f0f0e2e16d72e7b10d8ae8a5 is first bad commit

libata: implement ata_wait_after_reset()
On certain device/controller combination, 0xff status is asserted
after reset and doesn't get cleared during 150ms post-reset wait. As
0xff status is interpreted as no device (for good reasons), this can
lead to misdetection on such cases.
This patch implements ata_wait_after_reset() which replaces the 150ms
sleep and waits upto ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT if status is 0xff.
ATA_TMOUT_FF_WAIT is currently 800ms which is enough for
HHD424020F7SV00 to get detected but not enough for Quantum GoVault
drive which is known to take upto 2s.
Without parallel probing, spending 2s on 0xff port would incur too
much delay on ata_piix's which use 0xff to indicate empty port and
doesn't have SCR register, so GoVault needs to wait till parallel
probing.

I can set up a serial console if you need further debug output.
