ixpide wd0 failure "ixpide0:0:0: recal drive fault"

[David Brownlee <abs%absd.org@localhost>]

I've just another incident of ixpide failing horribly on amd64 when
more than two disks are attached.

Most recently on an Asus M3A78-EM board.

The behaviour is quite interesting in that whichever drive probes as
wd0 suffers the failure, no matter which SATA interface it uses,
as long as its the first one in use (probed).

Switching the BIOS to use AHCI rather than SATA mode seems to make
everything happy - though I've not put more than four disks into
a affected box to find out if that is a real solution in that case.

This is under 5.99.56, though I've seen it under 5.1

Has anyone else seen similar?
