SubjectRe: [PATCH]: libata-scsi: Don't start hotplug work queue if hotplug is disabled

ATA_PFLAG_SCSI_HOTPLUG doesn't mean that hotplug is enabled. It
indicates that EH needs to schedule a kick at SCSI's ass and make it
scan for discovered devices && work running on ata_aux_wq testing it
doesn't mean anything. There's no synchronization.

And this message has nothing to do with SCSI. It's printed by libata
proper for several drivers which don't support ATAPI. Did the patch
really kill the warning messages? Can you please post full boot log
from 2.6.26 w/o the patch?

Andrew, please drop the patch from -mm. Thanks.
