I can confirm that both reverting the above patch, or applying the fix
below fixes the issue on both 2.6.32 and 2.6.33-rc5
So if it's considered the correct fix, it needs to be cc stable@ for 2.6.32
(I reported this same issue this morning here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126467195500908&w=2,
but then I found this thread/fix)
The system I have tested on is a 4-disk dmraid10 connected to an Intel
ICH10R on an Asus P7P55D Deluxe running x86_64
