Please also consider:

Subject: libata reset-seq merge broke sata_sil on sh
Subject: [Bugme-new] [Bug 8462] New: applications under wine freezes

But we have many many more regressions which are in 2.6.21.x, only nobody's
tracking those.  Nobody seems to be fixing them either.  Probably
everyone's busy on the 2.6.14 regressions.
