Thanks for the pointer.  I grabbed sys/dev/ata and sys/sys/ata.h off
my CURRENT laptop and popped it on my RELENG_6 Opteron and it appears
to work fine with all 4G -- I can pull data off all 4 disks at >250M/s
without trouble when I could previously not even get past mounting
filesystems.

Hope to see this merged before too long, but for now at least this pr is
a little bit more useful :)
