Actually in libata there are many places calling ata_link_abort() not 
holding port lock. And some places are holding the real host 
lock(ata_host->lock) while calling ata_link_abort(). So if you add the 
lockdep annotations, there may be too many warnings. If these are real 
issues, we should fix them first.
