This seems highly inappropriate for 2.6.28

It fixes a case where people get a slow boot. It risks users suddenely
finding some devices and controllers don't detect drives at all. Some are
very quirky on device probe - eg the IT821x in RAID mode.

This could be tested in -next/-mm/2.6.29-rc and backported without much
pain.
