Public bug reported:

I'm not sure if this should be one bug report or many, and I don't have much 
info to put in here.
My computer is stuttering (doing small one-second freeze, similar to a OOM but 
it's not that), freezing (mouse and keyboard lock up, but wifi still blinks) 
and hanging completely (although this might be the same as the latter, because 
it happens when I open the lid - not a suspend/resume cycle, just closing the 
lid while on AC, opening it, blank screen and no activity).
There is very little in the logs. The stuttering happens at random times, but 
especially when plugging in AC, at which point I get a SATA error in the logs, 
something like:
Jul 21 10:54:31 hulla kernel: [ 5913.787813] ata6: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 
0x0 SErr 0x4040000 action 0xe frozen

ready)
Jul 21 10:54:41 hulla kernel: [ 5923.792609] ata6: hard resetting link
setting /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/link_power_management_policy to min_power 
stops the stuttering once it's started, and turning off IRRT seems to have 
gotten rid of them (but the system is slower as a result).
I also get something similar almost every day, right after cron finishes,

but I'm not sure it's the same thing.
