Hi, I've posted about this to -stable and -hackers before, basically having a problem where under 4.4-RELEASE this box had no problems, but even with the most recent -stable it panics while trying to probe the ata drive.
In the past I sent a simple trace and all since it was panic-ing before it had a device to dump to. Today I saw that the ata driver had some commits as of 3 days ago, so I recompiled and tried again, this time with remote GDB setup (thanks to Julian!). I don't really know what I'm doing in gdb, but hopefully this information is helpful. I'll also append it to the pr shortly. If I should direct this to -stable, let me know. If anyone wants more info, let me know, it panics every time, so I can easily repeat this.
