There is really a bug in one of ide patches, here it is:

commit a1317f714af7aed60ddc182d0122477cbe36ee9b
Author: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
Date:   Tue Jun 23 23:52:17 2009 -0700

    ide: improve handling of Power Management requests
    
    Make hwif->rq point to PM request during PM sequence and do not
allow
    any other types of requests to slip in (the old comment was never
correct
    as there should be no such requests generated during PM sequence).

I have reverted this part of the above patch, seems works, need more
tests:

-
-               WARN_ON_ONCE(hwif->rq);
 repeat:
                prev_port = hwif->host->cur_port;
+
+               if (drive->dev_flags & IDE_DFLAG_BLOCKED)
+                       rq = hwif->rq;
+               else
+                       WARN_ON_ONCE(hwif->rq);
+
