The ancient 16MB Lexar PIO-only CF-Card did not fare so well.
It crapped out similar to how Mathieu reported,
with lots of HSM errors on WRITEs. READs were fine, though.

On the surface of things, I'd say that, yes, this is the multiple-DRQ
errata biting us. The Marvell chips don't synchronize ATA status
register updates correctly with DRQ and interrupts. So a special
polling sequence is supposed to be required to make it all play nicely.
And the current sata_mv doesn't do that (yet).
So I suppose we'll have to clone ata_pio_task() and ata_sff_hsm_move()
and hack them for the funky Marvell errata to get this to work correctly.
That's a LOT of code, which is why I was/am hesitant to do it before now.
Anyone else want to have a go at it?
I can describe the exact protocol sequence required
for avoiding the errata issues.
