Hmm.. :) I was too lazy to reboot one more time, i just kill suspicious
processes like cron, sendmail etc. :)

See followup to PR kern/57174 for details :(
Shortly, my Maxtor 6Y200 attached to CMD648 controller brings the system
into panic, and without using tags. Maximum uptime was about 30 minutes :(
I looked into ata(4) code and decided that there is some logic error
(especially taking into account that panic() in ata(4) 4.9 appeared after
significant rewrite ata_dmastart() code).
Then, after downgrading my system in question to 4.8-p13 - flight is
excellent, 1 day ok.
I really want to eliminate this error, but at least some days I cannot
duplicate the same hardware configuration to investigate the problem...
