On a HP compaq nx9005 the pata_ali driver now gets used by default for the pata
devices (hdd and combi-cdrom).
Besides the systems now takes ages to boot and feels _very_ slow on usage now,
i see lots of 
ata2.00: exception ..... frozen
                         (timeout)
and 
ata2: soft resetting link
(when those are shown the system (e.g. the bootup) pauses)
Further - only with pata_ali active - i get a warning after bootup that smart
would report 66 unreadable sectors. But without libata i don't get this error.

Disabling libata (with hwprobe=-modules.pata) makes all those symptoms
disappear (it then bootsup really fast without such errors).
Will attach more detailed info and logs soon.
Could we fix this or at least blacklist this controller?
