Hm, do you have lockdep enabled? If not, does lockdep make this go away?
Because lockdep will set IRQF_DISABLED for all interrupt handlers, and
unless that flag is set, handle_IRQ_event will reenable interrupts while
the handler is running. And ahci_interrupt only uses a plain spin_lock,
so interrupts keep being enabled. The patch below should help with that.

Hmhm, maybe that also solves the deadlock you saw? Dunno...

I can't come up with an useful commit message right now, but I'll resend
in suitable form for submission if that thing actually works.
