I would like to merge it for 2.6.21-final because this issue become quite
urgent thanks to /etc/udev/scripts/hdparm.conf (the race is triggered
by udev/hdparm tuning master device while the slave device is still being
probed by the driver).  Reviews/comments are greatly appreciated.

[PATCH] ide: fix locking for manual DMA enable/disable ("hdparm -d")

Since hwif->ide_dma_check and hwif->ide_dma_on never queue any commands
(ide_config_drive_speed() sets transfer mode using polling and has no error
recovery) we are safe with setting hwgroup->busy for the time while DMA
setting for a drive is changed (so it won't race against I/O commands in fly).

I audited briefly all ->ide_dma_check/->ide_dma_on/->tuneproc/->speedproc
implementations and they all look OK wrt to this change.
