Hmmmm.
I upgraded the machine to 7.1-STABLE and now the patch applies
cleanly (using 'patch').
I still get the behaviour that I described above.
So I backed out the patch, rebuilt, and it turns out that I see the
same behaviour on the stock kernel. "It didn't use to do that. (tm)"
There's a line in dmesg that says:
acd0: TIMEOUT - WRITE_BIG retrying (1 retry left)
I have a feeling I've seen a thread about cd drives and BIG, but I
can't find it online or in the PR's. I see some recent discussion or
READ_BIG, but no conclusion.
This is with the stock DVD drive in a Mac PRO, dmesg reports it to be
acd0: DVDR <PIONEER DD-RW DR-112D/BC14> at ata2-master UDMA66
