[Bug 26119] Fix available upstream, testing needed

[Mikko Rapeli]

Hello,

I ran into this too with Debian etch ( http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401035 ), bugged linux-ide people (
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8816 and
http://marc.info/?t=118596132600016&r=1&w=2 ) and now a fix is
available:

- for 2.6.23-rc1at http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=118609784802744&w=2
- for 2.6.22.1 at http://marc.info/?l=linux-ide&m=118609639204242&w=2

For older distro kernels like 2.6.18-4 from Debian, the 2.6.22.1 patch
worked without the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL part. Perhaps it could apply to
Ubuntu kernels as well.

I only have ST340823A drive available for testing, so other drives
having similar problems of 1 sector HPA and size reporting should be
verified and included in the blacklist. A good place to report them, I
think, is the discussion thread on linux-ide at
http://marc.info/?t=118596132600016&r=1&w=2 .
