Which it doesn't actually do. You reserve 0x1F0-0x1F7 but forget the
other register.
Or maybe this rephrase helps:
Regardless of how the IDE quirks have configured the PCI BARs, libata is
written to assume that /all/ struct pci_dev resources for a single PCI
device are reserved to the libata driver.
Thus, if you avoid calling pci_request_regions (as your patch does), you

Let's call that regression/obvious bug #4, because the previous code
actually CARED if the resource was reserved.

They are harmless. For the 2.6.21 code base they will go away as well.
