I've bisected it down to this change: ide: set hwif->dev in ide_init_port_hw() (take 2)
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=c56c5648a3bd15ff14c50f284b261140cd5b5472

I cannot revert this from current git because there were too many
changes but when I go to 5b664cb235e97afbf34db9c4d77f08ebd725335e (a
random point that shows the oops) and apply the following (which is
basically a partial revert of the c56c5648a3bd15ff14c50f284b261140cd5b5472)
then it works:
