This sounds a lot like hotplug spinup-wait case. Are those harddisks
PATA or SATA? Also, I think this can be handled better by EH. ie.
register it as hotplug event -> wait for spin up if necessary -> reset &
revalidate.
Ultimately this is all a 2.6.17 temp fix that disappears immediately
with current #upstream work...
So we get to go through all these tests all over again :)
I agree your EH stuff will come in quite handy, but also it should be
noted that my call to ata_bus_probe() is wrong -- you want to IDLE
IMMEDIATE before doing some other stuff.
