Highpoint 2310 controller

Works fine with the other controller I've been using (SIL24), and works
fine if I revert the driver.
It also works fine if I disable the IOMMU. This would point towards
either a stale dma mapping, or a missing setup of one.
Not being much at home in the SATA drivers I could keep digging but I
figured I'd bring it up first in case it rings a bell for someone.
Looks like it's caused by enabling vmerge (which tends to be on for the
common PPC defconfigs). If I disable it, things look OK.
Perhaps the Marvell controller doesn't like requests larger than 64K,
or wrapping some boundary. Do you have access to erratas/docs?
I have verified it on a powermac now as well (had a quick scare that it
might have been some problem with the PA Semi IOMMU, but no).
