It works for me under Linux, so I suspect it is a bug in the guest OS or
the BIOS, which should send TEST UNIT READY before trying to communicate
to the HBA. You can use tracing to detect that, it probably sends
something like READ CAPACITY and fails because it does not expect that
command to fail.
That said, since there are 3 out of 3 BIOSes that couldn't cope with
that change---Linux and Windows work of course---it makes sense to
revert it even though the patch by itself is correct. If you send it
out, I'll gladly add my Acked-by.
Paolo
