Thanks a ton, building the kernel with PCI_MSI not set did the trick.
Attempting to disable MSI using pci=nomsi at the boot prompt did not eliminate
the problem. I had to build the kernel without MSI support. There's a few
interesting differences in the dmesg output with "PCI_MSI=y" and PCI_MSI not
set;
With PCI_MSI not set;
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804100 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 5
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804180 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 5
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804200 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 5
ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804280 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 5
With PCI_MSI=y;
ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804100 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 219
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804180 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 219
ata3: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804200 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 219
ata4: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0xf8804280 ctl 0x00000000 bmdma 0x00000000 irq 219
Also, there's a spurous interrupt message that appears with PCI_MSI=y;
spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.
I attached the two dmesg instances for reference.
