Yeap, this message from sata_sil24.  You're not getting any phy status 
changes bits in SError although the device is reporting phy rdy changed 
event.  However, your 3124 is reporting 8b/10b decoding error threshold 
exceeded error interrupt.  That could be related to the phyrdy status 
changed event.  This happens only under heavy IO, right?  How often does 
it occur in units of times per megabytes transferred?

8b/10b error is a recoverable FIS reception error.  The interrupt bit 
(bit 24 of irq_stat) is only turned on if threshold count is exceeded, 
which is initialized to 0x8000 at the moment.  This indicates that there 
are quite some number of transmission failures.
