This patch leads to freeze with Marvell MV88SX6041 4-port SATA II PCI-X Controller (rev 03), as I wrote already
(http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0510.0/0203.html)

It is impossible to reboot the system without  harware reset (after modprobe).

I'm betting a temporary workaround should be to disable CONFIG_SMP.

The first attached patch (patch.1) fixes one of the lockups.  The second attached patch (patch.2) should fix all the lockups, but that's just a guess, and it's a very ugly patch.

Note that patch.2 depends on patch.1.

I'm testing a more extensive patch that should address these issues.  I had sent something similar to the patches above to several users and it fixed the lockup and brought 60xx to a working condition.
