Hi,
I'm getting these messages in a KVM virtualized host and the access to
the disks is very slow. Using libata.dma=0 suppresses the warnings, but
the disks are still slow.

I've tracked this down to „ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi
host“ (9a6d6a2ddabbd32c07f6a38b659e5f3db319fa5a) with git biset.
ata: make ata port as parent device of scsi host
Currently, the device tree of ata port and scsi host looks as below,
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2 (ahci controller)
|-- ata1 (ata port)
|-- host0 (scsi host)
|-- target0:0:0 (scsi target)
|-- 0:0:0:0 (disk)
This patch makes ata port as parent device of scsi host, then it becomes
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2 (ahci controller)
|-- ata1 (ata port)
|-- host0 (scsi host)
|-- target0:0:0 (scsi target)
|-- 0:0:0:0 (disk)
With this change, the ata port runtime PM is easier.
For example, the ata port runtime suspend will happen as,
disk suspend --> scsi target suspend --> scsi host suspend --> ata port
suspend.

Can you tell, what might be wrong?
