I read about this in the LWN.net Kernel pages for may 17th. I figured that once it was in, everything would automagically be using it too (i.e. the drivers wouldn't need to be updated to the new system). Guess I was a tad naïve about that. I tried 2.6.17-rc5-mm2 and ran into some BUG()s which went away when I just stuck to 2.6.17-rc5.
I guess you know that the -mm kernels get everybody's not for primetime code added to it, so the BUG() you got could have come from anywhere. If your comfortable with the process, I would start with 2.6.17-rc6 then get the #upstream patch(upgrade) from libata and compile up a new kernel. (Think thousands of lines of modified code.) If you get any issues with it the lkml-ide devs will jump right on it I suspect.
