With patches 1 and 2 applied, I get a successful boot with IRQ mapping:

[    1.147056] EATA0: IRQ 10 mapped to IO-APIC IRQ 17.
[    1.160404] EATA/DMA 2.0x: Copyright (C) 1994-2003 Dario Ballabio.

[    1.161207] scsi host0: EATA/DMA 2.0x rev. 8.10.00


but I still get errors when trying to do a kexec reboot, see 
http://www.users.on.net/~arthur.marsh/20150915547.jpg

roughly it reads (after the synchronising SCSI cache reboot messages) 
and a long period of a dark screen:

sd 0:0:6:0: abort, mbox 63.
EATA0: abort, mbox 63 is in use.
sd 0:0:6:0: reset, enter.

It would be great if this problem could be fixed.
