sata_mv still considered highly experimental, as noted in Kconfig. Bugs
deferred to Mark Lord.

funny looking backtrace, according to you

worth looking into

worth looking into, also worth testing with big update.

probable cause, the most recent ata_piix map value stuff.

big update should help diagnose. might need 'nv-adma' branch to fix.

big update should help, or at least help diagnose.

ditto sata_mv info above.

big update should help.

should forward to NVIDIA for help debugging. nv-adma branch may help
diagnose.

maybe a bug, probably weird drive or media, worth looking into

should be using ahci driver

include in the "atapi + via problems" bucket; bucket should be looked
into... some people it works great, others not. may need
motherboard-specific (southbridge) tuning.

big update will help

probably just needs PCI IDs

not libata?

not libata

big update + upcoming hotplug will fix. until then, don't expect
unplugging a drive to DTRT.

need NVIDIA help. maybe nv-adma branch will help diagnose.
