[PATCH] HSM violation

["S.Çağlar Onur" <caglar-caicS1wCkhO6A22drWdTBw@public.gmane.org>]

Hi;

With very recent kernels libata throws lots of errors while booting and it 
makes booting really really slow, while searching the solution i found 
following bug reports [1],[2] and following commit [3].

Following diff against kvm-userspace HEAD solves this issue for kvm. This 
chunk of code is directly copied from qemu CVS so according to CVS logs 
credit belongs to Brandon Philips.
