Hello.
There appears to be a hardware bug in that it chokes on scatterlist
if the last item is larger than 164 bytes.
The patch that follows fixes my problem on 2.6.22.
I can't think of a way to avoid second pass over scatterlist without
duplicating code (ata_qc_prep() and ata_fill_sg() from libata-core.c).
