ATA problems

Thanks, Søren for looking into this problem. I have had it since 5.2.1 release.
With your latest fix committed to RELENG_5 my computer is more stable but it’s
not 100% yet. I still get lookups then copying files between two disks.
My test is to copy some DVDs of total 22GB from one disk to another and after
some minutes the computer crashes with no error message in /var/log/messages.

Also then mounting disks, I get:
adX: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA=XXXXXXXXX
Usually I get one of these messages for each 'mount'.
These messages seem harmless but still they show up.

I am using ATAIDLE (/usr/ports/sysutils/ataidle) with the mounted disks if this
matters…
