Fernando,

Thanks for reporting this. Looks like we need to fix the ata driver:

2.6.26.8-rt13:

drivers/ata/libata-sff.c:

ata_sff_hsm_move()
calls ata_pio_sectors(), calls

ata_pio_sector()

/* FIXME: use a bounce buffer */
local_irq_save(flags);
buf = kmap_atomic(page, KM_IRQ0);

This code is in 2.6.24-rt but in libata-core.c
It is slightly different, prehaps you were just lucky?
