Seems like me like ata_piix is not receiving any interrupts.. the 
polling-based IDENTIFY and SET FEATURES work, but the READ NATIVE MAX 
ADDRESS times out and so does the READ DMA that gets tried next.

Note that the ata_piix controller is in legacy mode, not native mode, so 
it's using IRQ 14 and 15, not whatever the hardware may otherwise 
indicate. Could be the problem is related to that.
