Ok, this confirms my suspicion that it is shared-irq related. Also, we
already verified that switching to libata does fix the issue for you so
you are good to go. Considering the DEPRECATED status of ide, I have a
very little incentive in hunting this thing further down, so let's leave
it at that.
I'll send the first fix to Dave since it is still needed and add a note
to bugzilla for further reference.
Jonas, big thanks for your hard work with testing patches and ideas. I
really appreciate it! :)
