Sorry, it was generated against the wrong tree.  Regenerated patch attached.

ATAPI devices use error conditions regularly to report all sorts of
things including media not present.  In some variants of ahci's, this
sets seemingly unrelated error bits - JMBs set interface error and
sb600s seem to set internal error.  These errors when interpreted
literally require device reset to recover from thus ATAPI devices never
get through device ready check.  So, the patch makes ahci driver
suppress those spurious errors.
