Ho hum, let me think about it...
With these patches applied (actually a resync an hour ago with the for-linus tree which includes them), the freeze-during-boot-up problem that I have been seeing with an old SATA boot disk (perhaps 1.5 Gbps) for the last two weeks, has gone away.
That SATA disk is connected to the motherboard (Gigabyte Z97M-D3H/Z97M-D3H, BIOS F5 05/30/2014) and has a standard AHCI interface as far as I can tell. dmesg confirms that.
Please add "Tested-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com>" to Christoph's "two more fixes for block/for-linus" series.
