Randy,
   Could very well be what happened. I added line 13 (the printk) by hand

<SNIP - ORIGINAL PATCH FILE>
struct piix_host_priv {
       const int *map;
       u32 saved_iocfg;
+       spinlock_t sidpr_lock;  /* FIXME: remove once locking in EH is fixed */
        void __iomem *sidpr;
};

<SNIP - MY CHANGE BY HAND>
struct piix_host_priv {
       const int *map;
       u32 saved_iocfg;
+       spinlock_t sidpr_lock;  /* FIXME: remove once locking in EH is fixed */
+       printk("MWK - ata_sidpr patch applied!\n");
       void __iomem *sidpr;
};

Maybe I should have just put it on the same line as the previous
spinlock command?

I'll play with it and see if I can get it working.

Thanks,
Mark
