Well I've been over the patch twice now and I cannot see a single point
at which the sequence of code that *should* be executed is any different.
Stick wmb();rmb(); (or similar barriers to compiler optimisation and I/O
fencing) at the start and end of your ata_sff_altstatus() and see what
happens, if it suddenly decides to behave or forcing it no inline makes
it behave then that would be useful info.
