In bugzilla #7907 you could post your patch and see if the reporters there
can at least confirm that it fixes their problem.

Meanwhile, to solve the problem for these people, and without introducing
a lot of new code at this stage in the release, perhaps you can suggest 
a more accurate way to detect PATA vs. SATA so we can fix the bug?  Either 
that or Len should drop the ATA ACPI support from 2.6.21 altogether and
we should try to coordinate our efforts better for 2.6.22.  The alternative
to dropping the ACPI support is to set the default for libata.acpi to off.

Thanks,
Kristen
