Yes, I saw the above during boot. 

What I mean by unable to reattach is describing the old behavior:
Sometimes my ad12 would fall off the bus, and I could usually retrieve
it by 'atacontrol detach ata6; atacontrol attach ata6;'
Now it's: ata6: still BUSY after softreset
and attempting the detach/attach results in:

Tracing pid 12 tid 100007 td 0xffffff0001afb390
device_get_parent() at device_get_parent+0x1

This isn't a huge deal, and is probably a red herring, as I suspect
the disk is going bad at this point. This is running Feb 1 kernel, as
I recall. However, it can and has stayed attached for weeks at a time
before.

Do you mean a kernel on Feb 15? Was there more that happened between
15th and the 22nd or so?

I'll try these patches and report back right after I freshen up my backups. :)
