I would say that scanner application tries to probe all CAM devices,
looking for scanner. While doing it, it uses SCSI/ATAPI commands with
odd-sized transfer sizes. It causes errors from ata(4) and triggers bug
in IXP700 AHCI controller. Odd-sized requests are generally not
supported by ATA/SATA. Second problem is in work now.
