As I mentioned in my first post to -questions, the system in question is
currently tracking RELENG_5 and is currently at version 5.4-RELEASE-p6.

I have applied Soeren's mkIII revsion n patchset, available at
http://people.freebsd.org/~sos/ATA/, and I'm still seeing the messages,
although *much* less frequently than before applying the patches.

The question I have is: should I revert back to an unaffected
5.x-RELEASE (which version would that be?) or should I consider tracking
5-STABLE instead?

Yes, I have read through the discussions.  Is it safe yet to assume that
the issues (at least for the ICH controllers) have been fixed in
-CURRENT?

Thanks.
