I'm gonna work on parallel probing for libata.  I think we can easily

time but that seems to be the 'right' thing to do especially considering
the fact that 150ms sleep has been enough for gazillions of ATA devices
during last decade except for this GoVault drive.

FWIW I don't mind polling for a /maximum/ of $N seconds, but I want to 
stress that any patch that blatantly adds stuff like

	if (status == 0xff)
		mdelay(2000)

will be rejected.
