Just test it with the latest master branch of linux-mips on fulong2e,
Your patch works well, thanks!

(BTW: of course, the ide-relative bug is also there even with Bart's
patch, so, currently, I just revert this part of the ide patch: "ide:
improve handling of Power Management requests" to test your patch: 

diff --git a/drivers/ide/ide-io.c b/drivers/ide/ide-io.c
index d5f3c77..8c4608c 100644
--- a/drivers/ide/ide-io.c

                if (drive->dev_flags & IDE_DFLAG_BLOCKED)

                if (drive->dev_flags & IDE_DFLAG_SLEEPING &&
                    time_after(drive->sleep, jiffies)) {
                        ide_unlock_port(hwif);

So, I will try to test Bart's patch with linux-next, I'm cloning it
currently! perhaps there is something missing in my git repo or the
linux-mips git repo? because i can not apply bart's patch neither to my
git repo nor to the master branch of linux-mips git repo directly, even
if pulled linux-next and Davie's ide-2.6 in.
