Tested-by: Pavel Roskin <proski@xxxxxxx>

My OCZ Solid was giving me timeouts.  I thought it was about to die, so
I bought an Intel X-25M urgently, copied my data, but the timeouts
continued.

After some googling I found that a patch for that was sent this very
morning!  After applying the patch, the timeouts have stopped.  They
would appear minutes after reboot, but it has been over an hour since I
rebooted and no timeouts.

My motherboard is ECS G31T-M, which is not AHCI capable, so I was using
ata_piix, which explains why I was affected.  My kernel is 2.6.34-rc2
(actually, wireless-testing.git).

By all means, please push this patch to all stable kernels, or more
money will be wasted on hard drives ;-)
