Hmmm... Strange.  From ata_port_alloc(),

struct ata_port *ata_port_alloc(struct ata_host *host)
{
	struct ata_port *ap;

	DPRINTK("ENTER\n");

	ap = kzalloc(sizeof(*ap), GFP_KERNEL);
	if (!ap)
		return NULL;

	ap->pflags |= ATA_PFLAG_INITIALIZING;
	ap->lock = &host->lock;
	^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How come ap->lock can get set to bogus address?  Can you please printk
&host->lock and ap->lock after ata_host_alloc() without the patch?

Thanks.
