Tried the patch. I see both before and after messages for hda, but when hde is
probed I see neither. Briefly looking at the IDE code, I see the max request
size: printk comes before either of those lines, as as nothing else is
printed after that line (see original bug report), I can only assume the
problem is somewhere before the write_cache().

I applied the patch on top of your previous changes, as they seemed innocuous
enough.
