Consider me your happy and willing patch test victim :-) I can easily reproduce data corruption with sata_mv. FWIW, I like this card very much. It is cheap, seems to perform well, and Marvell seems to be Linux friendly, providing the docs (according to http://linux-ata.org/sata-status.html#marvell). I'm not subscribed to linux-ide, but am to linux-kernel. If you post it there (or cc me) I'll see and try it.
