[Xen-devel] [PATCH] fix bugzilla 89 x86_64 linux won't boot on hardware with sata drives

["Mike D. Day" <ncmike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

changes in the linux patch 2.6.12 -> 2.6.12.5 in drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c 
stopped x86_64 linux from booting under xen on machines with SATA 
drives. This patch undoes only those changes and restores the previous 
functionality.

This linux patch, in particular the file drivers/acpi/pci_irq.c, breaks Athlons 
x86_64 with SATA drives. Removed the patch to pci_irq.c and confirmed that 
x86_64 2.6.12.5 works as it did prior to the 2.6.12.5 patch
