Re: [PATCH] sata_nv: fix ADMA ATAPI issues with memory over 4GB (v3)

This fixes some problems with ATAPI devices on nForce4 controllers in ADMA mode
on systems with memory located above 4GB. We need to delay setting the 64-bit
DMA mask until the PRD table and padding buffer are allocated so that they don't
get allocated above 4GB and break legacy mode (which is needed for ATAPI
devices).

...

Mmm.. I wonder how many other libata drivers have this exact same bug,
whether noticed yet or not ?

Cheers
