Hmm, I don't see quite that much corruption.

Reading over ata-chipset.c I see that there are 4 controllers which
may have this issue:

Cyrix
Marvell
National
Serverworks

This has been happening on AMCC cards and very occasionally Supermicro
motherboards.  Is there an easy way to determine if either of those
are using these chips?
