      ahci: improve and limit spurious interrupt messages, take#3 · 0291f95f

      We're still seeing a lot of issues with NCQ implementation in drive
      firmwares.  Sprious FISes during NCQ command phase occur on many
      drives and some of them seem potentially dangerous (at least to me).
      Until we find the solution, spurious messages can give us more info.
      Improve and limit them such that more info can be reported while not
      disturbing users too much.

      sata_via: don't diddle with ATA_NIEN in ->freeze · 17234246

      vt6420 completely loses its ability to raise IRQ for ATAPI devices if
      ATA_NIEN is diddled with in ->freeze.  Further investigation is
      necessary to determine whether this problem is shared on other
      controllers but it doesn't seem to be at this point.
      
      Make vt6420's ->freeze only clear IRQ to fix this problem.  This makes
      vt6420 relatively more prone to IRQ storms but the controller is way
      too braindamaged to worry about that anyway.
