ata timeouts are due to the interrupt either not arriving or the interrupt
being ignored due to other weirdness.  Try adding some printf()'s into the ata
interrupt handler to see if it gets called and how far it gets if it does get
called.  The fxp timeouts are definitely due to no interrupts as well.  If you
look below, neither the fxp0 or swi:net interrupt threads are runnable, but are
stuck in SWAIT instead.

So you get some interrupts and then they stop.  On the x86 we do a
disable/enable interrupt scheme for ISA interrupts by dinking with the PIC, so
Matt's suggestion to use isa_enable_intr()/isa_disable_intr() might be needed
actually.  (see hte INTREN() call in ithd_loop() in i386/isa/ithread.c) 
Actually, it looks like we wait too long to enable the interrupt sources on the
x86.  However, using the isa_enable/disable_intr() stuff that Matt suggested
might help.
