is there ANY way to test if this hack is necessary for specific model of a disk?
You need a bus analyzer, and need to test different sizes of FIS's. If all possible sizes (2048 combinations) work on your device, the blacklist entry is not needed.
is there any software bus analyzer? And if so, is there Testing-different-sizes-of-FIS's-for-dummies anywhere ?
You could modify a few drivers to receive an "unknown FIS", or receive all FIS's into a DMA-able area that the system could then read. So it's doable. I just don't have time to teach all of SATA and ATA to you :) See http://linux.yyz.us/sata/devel.html
