ide-{disk,scsi,tape} don't support REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests et all

In my case it results in a completely tits-up machine. CPU stuck somewhere
spinning with local interrutps disabled.

If you see the log output I sent, I'm suspecting this might be because

I don't. :(

this BSG brainfart has exposed underlying bugs in IDE or SCSI.

Possible but ATM I have an (overdue) IDE update to push, people waiting for
(overdue) patches to try and some (overdue) patches to finish and post...

Would be great if somebody beats me to investigate this issue.

Hint: this would be a great way to redempt pushing buggy commit behind
my back. ;-)

Thanks,
Bart
