This kernel is seriously busted.  Sometime between the Dec 15 tree and
the Dec 31 tree someone added something which appears to be causing
writes to the (ata_piix controlled) disk to get lost.  Processes are
getting stuck in D state, usually before it reaches a login prompt.

Suspects would be block, ata, scsi and possibly x86/acpi interrupt
handling.

And no, I'd rather not bisect - it would take ages.  If the maintainers
of the relevant trees can suggest specific patches to revert then I can
take a look at that tomorrow.
