I've got a FreeBSD machine with CURRENT and it worked well.
It was about 2 months old. So, I updated it two days ago and i
had problems after that. System began hang on kernel loading. 
I tried boot with disabled MSI/MSIX and I had interrupt storms..
So, after several times of kernel rebuilding (i removed all 
unneeded at this time drivers) it booted without hang. I disabled
several devices in BIOS too (USB, Audio, COM, LPT, ..).
So I think the problem isn't in ata driver. May be ACPI?
