Yes, all four patches tested and working here.
I think there's two of us on the planet using that board with Linux. :)

The EH still isn't perfect -- never recovers from stuck-DRQ,
and SG_IO WRITEs don't work.  That's really no different from
the existing 2.6.24 version.  Regular I/O looks fine.

And this way it stops spamming the syslogs with the new WARN_ON()
calls in libata every time it noticed we didn't have the new EH hooks.
