Oh, for fuck sake...  2.6.18 drivers/scsi/libata-core.c:

                if ((ap->flags & ATA_FLAG_NO_LEGACY) == 0) {
                        struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr;

                        if (ioaddr->cmd_addr == 0x1f0)
                                release_region(0x1f0, 8);
                        else if (ioaddr->cmd_addr == 0x170)
                                release_region(0x170, 8);
                }

current drivers/ata/libata-core.c:
                if ((ap->flags & ATA_FLAG_NO_LEGACY) == 0) {
                        struct ata_ioports *ioaddr = &ap->ioaddr;

                        /* FIXME: Add -ac IDE pci mods to remove these special cases */
                        if (ioaddr->cmd_addr == ATA_PRIMARY_CMD)
                                release_region(ATA_PRIMARY_CMD, 8);
                        else if (ioaddr->cmd_addr == ATA_SECONDARY_CMD)
                                release_region(ATA_SECONDARY_CMD, 8);
                }

Patch in question restores the situation prior to libata merge.  That's
what FRV had been doing all along if SATA had been enabled.  No more,
mo less.

Now, if you want to change that behaviour, more power to you.  But that's
a separate patch, obviously, and all issues related to that exist in vanilla
2.6.18 just as in the current tree.
