According to this post:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/9/475
with 2.6.21-rc3, it started working after the kernel disabled NCQ because of too many errors. That seems to point away from it being an IRQ problem, as you'd expect it to not work at all. I don't expect the interrupts would be handled any differently between NCQ and non-NCQ commands. However, apparently disabling ACPI also prevents the problem, which does seem a bit odd.
