Hmmm... the port interrupt handler checks for IDLE before calling into
hsm_move, so the only explanation would be that something is resetting
it to IDLE inbetween.  ce7514526742 ("libata: prevent HSM state change
race between ISR and PIO") describes and fixes the same problem.  The
fix seems correct and I can't find anywhere else where this can
happen.  :(

Can you please post the kernel log leading to the BUG?  Also, I don't
think that condition needs to be BUG.  I'll change it to WARN.

Thanks.
