Is this the scenario your patch is intended to fix? If it's a panic with a SATA drive, then no it wouldn't ... the problem I fixed was in SATAPI only (That's CD/DVD/Tape devices). If you actually post the boot log and panic, linux-ide and Tejun might be able to help. Your brief snippet indicates the controller isn't finding sda, I think.
