Port looks fine, thanks. The only problem I've seen with the base patch
is that sometimes ata_do_simple_cmd() seems to be invoked right before a
previous command has completed. So I needed this addon to work around

A hack to wait a little while for the current command to complete, before
issuing a new one.
