So the reports I've seen of this all involve the Nvidia MCP55 ATA chipset, and
only the ata controller loses its marbles (so to speak). Christian ran a
patch that tested each PCI config read and they always returned the same
value from both methods. I think that this may be a weird bug in the ata
driver itself. It might be helpful to add printfs to instrument the various
nvidia-specific ATA routines in sys/dev/ata/ata_chipset.c to compare the old
and new kernels.
