I've got some of it figured out. I loaded up Virtual Box on my windows
box.
I figured out part of the interrupt issue. VB and the Intel ICH
chipsets do not have Async Notification. Because of that I wasn't
setting an interrupt bit called SDBE which is apparently used by the
Intel chipset to notify when a NCQ command completes.
That explains why it got past the probe and then timed-out trying
to read from the disk.
I'm working on some other issues related to VBOX, then I'll commit the
whole mess and people can try the driver again. I hope to commit
this evening.
