No objections to the code, operationally...
But it is disappointing that the "1 thread on UP" problem is not solved
while changing this libata area. Is there no way to specify a minimum
lazy-thread count?
A key problem continues to be tying to the number of CPUs, which is
quite inappropriate for libata.
