Ok, I found four things while tweaking the driver
1) talking to myself repeatedly on a public forum makes me look very stupid :)
2) adding DELAY() in ata_command() unconditionally was critical on performance.
3) you removed the conditional from the following code in ata_command()
and made it always control interrupt from the device:
/* disable interrupt from device */
if (atadev->channel->flags & ATA_QUEUED)
ATA_OUTB(atadev->channel->r_altio, ATA_ALTSTAT, ATA_A_IDS | ATA_A_4BIT);
but it led to timeout or lock-up on two of my DragonFly machines.
if I put the conditional back in, the timeout won't happen.
4) in ata_command(), calls to crit_enter() and crit_exit() don't correspond.
