Hmmm... Strange. From ata_port_alloc(),

struct ata_port *ata_port_alloc(struct ata_host *host)
{
struct ata_port *ap;

DPRINTK("ENTER\n");

ap = kzalloc(sizeof(*ap), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!ap)
return NULL;

ap->pflags |= ATA_PFLAG_INITIALIZING;
ap->lock = &host->lock;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

How come ap->lock can get set to bogus address? Can you please printk
&host->lock and ap->lock after ata_host_alloc() without the patch?

Thanks.
