2.6.26-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Tejun Heo commit 4bdee6c5103696a2729d3db2f235d202191788e4 upstream sata_mv allowed issuing two DMA commands concurrently which the hardware allows. Unfortunately, libata core layer isn't ready for this yet and spews ugly warning message and malfunctions on this. Don't allow concurrent DMA commands for now.
