On the subject of blacklists -- when downgrading the speed of a drive
because it's found a blacklist, or indeed for any other reason, please
_print_ the reason for doing so.

I have drives which work fine at UDMA66, but which some kernels randomly
refuse to configure above UDMA33 without telling me why.

Basically, any time you run a drive at a transfer speed lower than the
minimum of the drive's and host's listed capabilities, you should say why
you're doing so.
