hmmmm.  Looking at changes between the two csets listed in the email 
(623fa57..8f616cd), all of them are driver-specific and unrelated to 
Manny's hardware except for

	commit 2486fa561a3192bbbec39c7feef87a1e07bd6342

	    libata: update atapi disable handling

So you could try to revert that and see what happens.  But given that 
small range of changes, it really seems like something else, maybe in 
the PCI subsystem (random guess).

Looking at the entire kernel, nothing jumps out, either.  Its mostly fs 
updates (ext4, xfs), a networking update, an ARM update, and a libata 
update.

Also, some reset-related fixes just went in, so re-testing the latest 
-git would be helpful as well.
