The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

That's far more reasonable, and I'd be happy to queue that with your full email text...

Unless you object, I'll roll this up with a couple other libata fixes for 2.6.27-rc.
