I've been going through 2.6.20-rc releases this evening. 2.6.20-rc7 resolves 
my AHCI fault (although not the MSI problem); it looks like Tejun Heo's fix 
to ahci_thaw() in a718728f9e40ec79c0879ec6509a54fee214f5b2 fixes things for 
my setup.

Of course, I'm now curious as to why NCQ is disabled on VIA AHCI controllers. 
Is there a known hardware bug I should be wary of, or is it just a case of 
being cautious due to the other issues with the VT8251 (in which case I'll 
try enabling it and reporting back)?

Thanks for the code and the fix,
