Could we get a decent description of the problem and of the patch? Starting with the short description: it is piix locking being fixed not IDE one.
As this is piix only patch your bugzilla #144768 is not duplicate of #144743. Also some people reported the problem for atiixp.c under #144743 (attixp.c has similar locking problem to piix.c). So either they didn't care to reopen the bug or it was fixed by some other change it the core IDE code.
