I swapped the drives out and I got identical results, which means the
problem lies in the driver or the card itself....
I moved the card to a win32 machine to see what the official driver
would do. It failed on the 2nd sata channel too. So I'm gonna conclude
its physically broken. Sorry for the trouble.

Good news: This patch does correct the IO access errors.
Bad news: The sata driver now performs exactly like previous kernels, my
sata3 works, sata4 has IDENTIFY errors.
The patch doesn't do anything about that problem, so it's expected.

Can you swap the two disks and see what happens? It seems the second
IDENTIFY after configuring transfer mode fails. I'm curious whether
that's caused by the disk or the controller.
