If I understand correctly,
the problem is that ata_piix and hv_storvscboth claim the (virtual) hard disk.
That sounds worth fixing.
The patch works by making ata_piix skip the disk during enumeration
if hv_storvsc is enabled as a built-in driver or module.
A workaround is to blacklist the ata_piix module.
However, that means losing access to CD and DVD drives
which are exposed by ata_piix and not hv_storvsc.
