Subject: smartd broken in 3.9.0-rc4

Hi,

 just tested my first 3.9 kernel today.  During boot, smartd (from
smartmontools-6.0) fails to start.  Works fine in 3.8.4.

 In 3.8.4 I get messages like this :

Mar 27 22:02:02 ac4tv smartd[3981]: smartd 6.0 2012-10-10 r3643

 but in 3.9.0-rc4 all I get is

 Using strace, in the failing version I get
2643  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff53288a60) = -1 EIO (Input/output error)

instead of the normal
3981  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437340) = 0
3981  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, 0x7fff04437350) = 0
3981  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437330) = 0
3981  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_CMD, 0x7fff04437330) = 0
3981  ioctl(3, HDIO_DRIVE_TASK, 0x7fff04437340) = 0

 Looks like I'll be bisecting.
