Unfortunately most of the email traffic related to this was off-list.
There was one message here on list from Greg Miller saying his system
locked up and giving a date for when the problem got introduced which
was between 7.1-RC1 and 7.1-RC2 so it had been a regression that snuck
in while we were in the RC phase.  It turned out the MFC that brought in
support for that chip was pulling in pieces of ATA from head that had
been intertwined with other work and it seemed likely the MFC wasn't
complete - more of the ATA pieces from head would need to be pulled in
to stabilize it.  Since we were already so far behind on getting 7.1 out
we opted to back out the change rather than try to work out what else
needed to be MFCed (which would have definitely required RC3 if we tried
to do that).

Sorry, it will just need to wait for 7.3 (though hopefully this plus the
extra stuff needed to stabilize it will work its way into 7-STABLE in
the not too distant future).
