RE: [git patches] libata fixes

Hello,

Here is a patch to avoid these pesky messages for the Maxtor disk :

--- linux-2.6.21-rc4/drivers/ata/libata-core.c 2007-03-17 19:29:45.000000000

/* Devices with NCQ limits */

With this applied, my machine has stopped all those painful messages.
dmesg now says :
root@riri:/Kernels# dmesg | grep LBA
ata1.00: 490234752 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (not used)
ata2.00: 640 sectors, multi 1: LBA
ata3.00: 490234752 sectors, multi 0: LBA48 NCQ (not used)

instead of NCQ (depth 31/32), but there doesn't seem to be any adverse
effects.

Paul
