do a man git-bisect and then follow the 'Automatically bisect with
temporary modifications' example.  You substitute
168c79971b4a7be7011e73bf488b740a8e1135c8 for hot-fix

Odd, all the other changes are driver specific (and not in ATA) apart
from this one:

commit 7ad388d8e4c703980b7018b938cdeec58832d78d
Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date:   Mon Jun 17 14:19:53 2019 +0200

    scsi: core: add a host / host template field for the virt boundary
 

I suppose it could be because the virt_boundary_mask isn't set, but
that should just set zero, which is what block usually does.
