I would lean toward that as well, but it would be good to get some
testing from some sata_nv ADMA users to make sure it doesn't do anything
funny for them..

Since I've been a bit of a problem case this time, I'd be happy to test it.

Can I assume that I can apply the patch you sent to Jeff "[PATCH] sata_nv: revert use of notifiers for now", and apply this one, to -rc3, and then be able to usefully test?

Yes, you should be able to.
