Hi,

just tested my first 3.9 kernel today. During boot, smartd (from
smartmontools-6.0) fails to start. Works fine in 3.8.4.

In 3.8.4 I get messages like this :

but in 3.9.0-rc4 all I get is

Using strace, in the failing version I get
2643 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff53288a60) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)

instead of the normal
3981 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437340) = 0
3981 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, 0x7fff04437350) = 0
3981 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437330) = 0
3981 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437330) = 0
3981 ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, 0x7fff04437340) = 0

Looks like I'll be bisecting.
