Bug#281839: Followup on 281839

I didn't see this addressed anywhere else in the current bugs list so I
figured I'd follow up with this existing bug. The failure of the nvidia
sata to detect attached drives seems to be related to a timeout issue.
Rather than describe it here I'll provide this handly link that resolves
some of the issues and includes patches that have resolved the issue for
others.
Basically the sata_nv module isn't working properly in 2.6.8-2.6.9 and the
RAID functionality of the nvidia sata controller isn't available in
previous kernels. I've verified this on several motherboards including the
Abit NF7-S2 which only provides the nvidia SATA controller. The attached
patches resolve the modules not seeing attached hard drives, and the reset
failures of seagate drives.
Specifically look at comments 4, 11, and 14.
