Oops, missed that.  I'll see whether there's IRQ storm going on.

It seems what happens is sata_nv EH loses hotplug events during
hardreset is going on.  This is a bit tricky.  I'm not sure whether it's
sata_nv's fault or other drivers are working out of dumb luck.  I'll
reproduce the problem and post the log when I get some time.
