Yes and the behaviour is determined by hdparm -k/-K. Its all a bit
random after a CRC error however as the recovery code does a polling
speed change and the locking versus timers/irq's is totally broken.

I did some minimal fixes in the older -ac patches but even with all the
other locking cleanup I did back then this one remained. Essentially the
old IDE layer needs to switch from polled speed changes in task context
to issuing speed changes as state machine sequences.

Thats non trivial
