If you look at the 5.2-RELEASE feature requirements, you'll see that they
include fine-grained locking for ATA to mitigate this problem.  I know
there's work-in-progress to look at issues relating to CAM and the various
storage drivers as well.  You can take a look at the driver status page to
see the status of various hardware drivers --

I believe.  It's grown from "do drivers handle busdma" to "which drivers
are MPsafe to various degrees, 64-bit safe, etc".
