For 2.6.20 it mostly used to just not work, for 2.6.21-rc it crashes, this seems to be down to luck (bad or good). The libata-acpi code needs to avoid doing PCI work on non-PCI devices. This is one hack although it's not pretty and perhaps there is a "right" way to check if a struct device * is PCI ?
