    FWIW, I'm still leaning towards disabling libata ACPI support by default 
    for 2.6.21.
    
    Upstream has Alan's fix for the worst PATA problems, but for different 
    reasons, I think PATA ACPI and SATA ACPI support in libata does not feel 
    quite ready for prime time in 2.6.21.
    
    Scream now, or hold your peace until 2.6.22... :)
