Jeff, Alan,

this is still not fixed upstream. What about:

[PATCH] ata: fix wrong WARN_ON_ONCE

This patch fixes a wrong WARN_ON that was triggered by 32bit PIO support:
WARNING: at drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:1017 ata_sff_hsm_move+0x45e/0x750()

__atapi_pio_bytes simply doesnt know enough to decide if there is a bug.
