I investigated further the problem. For my pata case the interrupt go
through idle_irq in ata_host_intr.
If I put a printk before ata_host_intr in ata_interrupt there no problem.

I bet "altstatus" or "main status" return ATA_BUSY and are not cleared
enough fast by the hardware.

I will try others tests this evening.
