What about ata_host_register() (usually called through ata_host_activate())? I don't understand why you continue to push for something fragile where you have to get things right in the driver, when it clearly is very fragile indeed, as now shown *twice* by how you seem to have missed some potential case. This is *exactly* why I NAK'ed the patch, and said it has to be handled automatically (or at least default to the safe model, not the unsafe one). We do have the automatic patch now. Admittedly it's not wonderful, and I agreed when Tejun called it slightly ugly, but at least it does these things automatically without humans having to go through these cases one by one and having to get them right. So please just stop pushing this "manual marking" thing. It's fundamentally flawed and broken.
