Hello,

The current HPA handling implementation isn't robust enough and causes
regressions on several cases.  This patchset contains HPA handling
update.

* blacklist devices which puke on READ_NATIVE_MAX
* proper/better error handling - in most cases, HPA failure won't
  result in detection failure
* re-read IDENTIFY data after resizing
* more concise messages

Tested by setting up HPA area manually.

This is a bit big for 2.6.23-rc though :/
