commit b0bccb18bc523d1d5060d25958f12438062829a9 Author: Mark Lord <liml@rtr.ca> Date: Mon Jan 19 18:04:37 2009 -0500
sata_mv: fix 8-port timeouts on 508x/6081 chips
Fix a longstanding bug for the 8-port Marvell Sata controllers (508x/6081), where accesses to the upper 4 ports would cause lost-interrupts / timeouts for the lower 4-ports. With this patch, the 6081 boards should finally be reliable enough for mainstream use with Linux.

This should be backported to all -stable kernels.
Cheers
