    sata_mv: fix 8-port timeouts on 508x/6081 chips
    
    Fix a longstanding bug for the 8-port Marvell Sata controllers (508x/6081),
    where accesses to the upper 4 ports would cause lost-interrupts / timeouts
    for the lower 4-ports.  With this patch, the 6081 boards should finally be
    reliable enough for mainstream use with Linux.

This should be backported to all -stable kernels.

Cheers
