Mmm.. on my little Atom ZBOX systems, the patch linked above "Patchwork [v2] libata: disable runtime pm for hotpluggable port" _does_ appear to fix the issue. Maybe my notebook is suffering from the ExpressCard not being resumed properly, which would be a PCI issue most likely. Anyway, one issue at a time: The "disable runtime pm" patch seems to be the regression fix I'm looking for here so that I can use SATA hotplug after a suspend/resume. Why isn't this upstream as a regression fix yet?
