Hmm... I like the workaround but wish the kernel weren't generating
the above output.  How about doing something like the following?

svia_error_handler()
{
	if (workaround hasn't been applied yet &&
	    the conditions match for the workaround) {
		apply the workaround;
		mark as such;
		print informational message;
		set ATA_EHI_QUIET;
	}

	ata_sff_error_handler(ap);
}
