Should work with 64, 128 (tested) and 256 GB capacities with any
firmware versions in
drivers/ata/libata-core.c because of ATA errors in dmesg, hangs and
filesystem corruption.

The diff is against linux kernel 2.6.33 rc5 though also meant for
2.6.32 stable series due to multiple distros' proposed long term support.

I've tested on my PC with my Crucial M225 model 128 GB SSD and it works
without the need to specify kernel boot option " libata.force=noncq ".
