Actually, ->resetting needs to be protected by the ide_lock here.

Same as above.  Unless I have missed something, a simple

spin_lock(&ide_lock)

should suffice since there cannot possibly be another interrupt that
changes ->resetting behind our back.  I'll send an updated version of
patches 1 and 4 once I have your opinion on the current series.
