I can help you with the ata patch on specific set of distros of interest.
If the system that you are interested loads the ata_piix module,
we can solve the issue on hand using modprobe rules rather than a patch

against the ata driver.

 K.Y.:  Youre _theory_ ( about "can solve the issue on hand using modprobe
rules") is wrong for:

As I said,  if the ata_piix driver is a loadable module, we can solve the issue
with modprobe rules. If it is not a loadable module we cannot obviously solve
the problem with modprobe rules and we will need the ata patch.
