The patch seems to work for me, I get no hangs or errors at boot time:

ata0 mem 0x20000-0x20fff,0x8800-0x88ff irq 24,12 on macio0
ata0: [ITHREAD]
ata1: <Intrepid Kauai ATA Controller> mem 0xf5004000-0xf5007fff irq
39,1 at device 13.0 on pci2
ata1: [ITHREAD]
acd0: DVDR <HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B/2.05> at ata0-master WDMA2
ad0: 38166MB <Seagate ST340015A 3.01> at ata1-master UDMA100

The ad0 disk works perfectly in UDMA100 (I have tested it a lot these
days without problems).  I have not tested acd0 yet, but I'm going to
test it and report how well does it work.

Thanks!

Marco.
