Subject: Linix-3.6.3 sda, sdb drives in reverse order (with a USB 2.0 drives
 and a monolithic kernel configuration)

I've a very annoying behavior with the linux-3.6.x kernels release, and 
a monolithic configuration. The USB 2.0 drives are mapped first with 
/dev/sda, /dev/sdb... devices, and than the SATA AHCI drives come after. 
This is out of order with the BIOS configuration and breaks a program 
like lilo. This is also annoying when we use a static partition mapping.

Linux-3.5 works fine. Where this bug come from ? Is this a patch to get 
the old, and classical behavior ?

Best Regards,
Wallak.
