Just adding my "me too" with some comments.

I noticed this hang on udevadm settle too. I'm temporarily working around
it by adding udevtimeout=5 to the command line. I haven't looked into it any further.

On my system I bisected these constant change notifications to 929e27252e
'ide: ide_requeue_and_plug() reinstate "always plug" behaviour' [1] but
haven't looked any past that.

On my system, I'm not noticing anything strange here, but I'm not using the
CDROM drive:

]# cat /proc/interrupts  | grep ide && sleep 3 && cat /proc/interrupts | grep ide
 14:        100      43433        522          0   IO-APIC-edge      ide0
 15:          0          0          0          0   IO-APIC-edge      ide1
 14:        100      43469        522          0   IO-APIC-edge      ide0
 15:          0          0          0          0   IO-APIC-edge      ide1

Cheers,
