I have performed some tests. Is there anything else I can do to fix
this?

VIA VT6421A mini-PCI (Commell MP-6421) card and SATA II SSD from
Transcend.

Machine A: IXP425 (ARM) CPU, 266 MHz. 64 MB RAM - this time all RAM is
accessible to VT6421A. PCI 33 MHz (using mini-PCI adapter). Both
little-endian and big-endian CPU modes exhibit the problems.

Machine B: AMD64 X2, 64-bit kernel, 2 GB RAM. Mini-PCI 33 MHz.

I've written a small program which only reads from disk, using the same
read pattern that was needed for e2fsck. It constists of about 6500 of
(quite random) lseek()s, each followed by read() (sizes from 524 to
32768 bytes). I do ioctl(fd, BLKFLSBUF, 0) first.

It seems I can trigger the problems almost reliably on Machine A with
rmmod sata_via; modprobe sata_via; test_program. Subsequent runs
(without rmmod/modprobe usually don't show any issue).

It usually shows up on Machine B but only once after reboot, subsequent
rmmod + modprobe doesn't seem to trigger it. The test takes about
4 seconds (if the errors don't show up).

The SSD shows no issues when connected directly to SATA port on the
machine B motherboard (NVidia MCP-55).

Machine A shows no issues when connected to a SATA disk. However, the
disk is much slower (seeks are slow, linear transfer from either device
is way above IXP425 ability). The test takes about 10 seconds with SSD
and 20 seconds with the disk. I wonder if it could be a factor.

Machine A (IXP425) doesn't obviously use the card's BIOS, so the
VT6421A is configured a bit differently (ignoring differences in
addresses etc):

Mem - I guess x86-64 enables it for BIOS access. This is the only PCI
device in machine A (ARM).
