Which initrd / boot script are you using? It looks like lvm assemble scripts are running before sdX are detected leading to volume assembly failure. Before the patch, any module loading would end up synchronizing async probes but after the patch modprobe invocations which don't schedule them won't be. Does your boot script happen to run multiple modprobes in parallel and proceed to configure lvm without waiting for modprobes of libata drivers to finish?
