I guess 1 & 2 are #upstream-fixes material, and 3 & 4 are #upstream ?

I'd say they are all fixes. In terms of urgency #4 hasn't been reported
by anyone it was found when checking errata, #3 is a real problem
encountered by users #2 affects only fairly obscure hardware and isn't a
regression, #1 is a comment.

I've also now confirmed with the Intel hardware folks that there isn't
any reason we can't turn on parallel probing in ata_piix.

I was referring to the patch numbering provided by you, in your 
submission, which is the reverse of the order listed above:

patch #1: ICH7 MWDMA timings
patch #2: TZ90
patch #3: turn on hotplugging
patch #4: fix comment

patch #3 is a behavior change IMO very late in -rc cycle, and patch #4 
is not urgent.

Agreed - sorry I'd forgotten that stgit is quite creative with its
ordering.
