* A patch to the sata_promise driver in libata for it to correctly mask
out hotplug interrupts on SATAII150 Tx4/Tx2 Plus controllers.
* This is resend #3. It no longer applies to a -mm tree, but to
2.6.14-rc1. Therefore, the entry for board_2057x no longer has
ATA_FLAG_SATA commented out.

You need to add a ->host_stop() hook that frees pdc_host_priv, otherwise you have a memory leak on module remove/controller unplug.

Once fixed, this patch could go in immediately, it looks like.
