hmmmm. Looking at changes between the two csets listed in the email
(623fa57..8f616cd), all of them are driver-specific and unrelated to
Manny's hardware except for

libata: update atapi disable handling

So you could try to revert that and see what happens. But given that
small range of changes, it really seems like something else, maybe in
the PCI subsystem (random guess).

Looking at the entire kernel, nothing jumps out, either. Its mostly fs
updates (ext4, xfs), a networking update, an ARM update, and a libata
update.

Also, some reset-related fixes just went in, so re-testing the latest
-git would be helpful as well.
