What he's referring to is needing to up the coherent_pool size to get
a Kirkwood device with two SATA ports to init completely.  I brought
the topic up on arm-kernel under the subject 'Potential Regression in
3.6-rc1 - Kirkwood SATA' and Aaro Koskinen suggested the root cause
and potential fix of adding coherent_pool=1M to the bootargs.  I
didn't think to cc you in the discussion, sorry about that.  So there
isn't a pending patch yet, just a suggestion of altered bootargs.
