I tested the libata-dev kernel as of commit c3939cc09. I had to comment out a 
bunch of code (for example, code related to the sntf board in ahci.c and some 
other stuff) and add a cap2 variable to the ahci_host_priv struct in ahci.h in 
order to successfully compile the branch.

I also had to comment out the pata_enable check in mv-ahci.c:mv_ahci_init_one in 
order to get the mv_ahci module to initialize my hardware, even though I have 
the pata_marvell module blacklisted.

My test hardware:

Intel D75XBX2 motherboard with 2 onboard SATA controllers
- ICH7 controller in AHCI mode
  - 3 disks (2 x ST3320620AS, 1 x ST3500418AS)
- Marvell 88SE6145 controller, using AHCI (ahci.marvell_enable=1)
  - 3 disks (3 x ST3500418AS)

I used "fio surface-scan" for my test (is that a good way to test this?) and I 
found no regressions from the stock Fedora 12 kernel 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64. 
However, I was hoping the latest libata-dev branch resolved this issue:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=549981

It did not. I continue to get the same error as described in my bugzilla report 
with libata-dev.

I hope that helps. I am willing to help out with other testing on this hardware, 
as necessary. Please cc me on replies.
