Tejun, did this ever go upstream and to -stable ??
I'm asking because I see the same issue with other SATA controllers,
in particular with sata_sil boards.  Hot plug generally works _once_
per port, and then stops working.

The patch is still pending,

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ide/49613

I don't think it would be wise to include the patch for -stable tho.
It's not a regression fix and has some possibility of introducing
regressions, so....

Not a regression fix?  Excuse me?
SATA hotplug always used to work fine,
and is more or less essential to reboot-free operations.

I can move it from #upstream (linux-next) to #upstream-fixes, if we feel 
it is sufficient urgent.  It seemed like it needed more testing, but 
maybe the best way to do that is #upstream-fixes?

Was mainly a -rc question, to me.
