I tried the above patch on RELENG_6 and it doesn't seem to change my
situation (which isn't suspend related anyway). If I remove my
ThinkPad's cdrom drive, FreeBSD becomes unresponsive after atacontrol
reinit ata1.

It seems to freeze in this part of ata-lowlevel.c:

492:    /* in some setups we dont want to test for a slave */
493-    if (!(ch->flags & ATA_NO_SLAVE)) {
494-    ATA_IDX_OUTB(ch, ATA_DRIVE, ATA_D_IBM | ATA_D_LBA | ATA_SLAVE);
495-    DELAY(10);      
496-    ostat1 = ATA_IDX_INB(ch, ATA_STATUS);
497-    if ((ostat1 & 0xf8) != 0xf8 && ostat1 != 0xa5) {
498-        stat1 = ATA_S_BUSY;
499-        mask |= 0x02;
500-    }
501-    }
502-

More precisely, it doesn't get past the macro in line 494.

Any ideas why "ATA_IDX_OUTB(ch, ATA_DRIVE, ATA_D_IBM | ATA_D_LBA | ATA_SLAVE);"
could cause an unresponsive system? I ruled out a nullpointer, but I haven't
found the code the macro leads to yet. 

If I comment out this whole block, I reach the panic Gavin already
analysed in the link above. It can be prevented with the following
patch:

fk at TP51 /usr/src/sys/dev/ata $diff -uN atapi-cd.c.original atapi-cd.c 
--- atapi-cd.c.original Sat Apr 15 16:59:46 2006

-
+    if (cdp != NULL) {

+    }
     /* fail requests on the queue and any thats "in flight" for this device */
     ata_fail_requests(arg);

Now I can remove my cdrom drive while FreeBSD is running and
atacontrol reinit no longer causes the panic:

fk at TP51 ~ $sudo atacontrol reinit ata1
Master: acd0 <HL-DT-STCD-RW/DVD DRIVE GCC-4241N/1.04> ATA/ATAPI revision 5
Slave:       no device present  
[Removing drive]
fk at TP51 ~ $sudo atacontrol reinit ata1
Master:      no device present  
Slave:       no device present
