Well, no luck.  I was able to reproduce the issue on my box with this patch
applied on top of 2.6.32-rc2.

Which probably means that the link power management is not really involved
here and seems to turn up this statement:

rc = ata_host_request_pm(host, mesg, 0, ATA_EHI_QUIET, 1);

in ata_host_suspend() as the culprit.

Does it make sense?

Thanks,
Rafael
