I can see it with a 

        00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) IDE 
Controller (rev 02)
        00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7 Family) 
Serial ATA Storage Controller IDE (rev 02)

where the disk is on the SATA side, and the DVD writer is PATA using 
ide_piix.

That doesn't sound very different from my setup.. I wonder why it works 
for you.

That said, I'm making progress with my bisection. "16 revisions left to 
test after this", and three of those sixteen are

        Remove unnecessary blk_queue_bounce in SG_IO
        fix SG_IO bio leak
        remove blk_queue_activity_fn

but I'll do the bisection 'til the bitter end, in case I get into a 
similar nonsense value that the other Mike got into.
