Bug description:
  SRU Justification:

  Impact:   Intermittent OS failure due to SSD disk initialisation failure
  Fix:      Upstream development
  Testcase: About once per 5000 reboots on one server. 
            If the user has several hundred servers, 
            the frequency isn't negligible.

  connected using ahci driver. When this problem occurs, the disk is
  not recognized by the Linux kernel, and the server fails to boot.
