Yeap, that'll be nice. Dunno whether modifying piix/ata_piix too much
would be a good idea tho considering the wide usage.

Great, please consider updating ata_piix together next time. libata can
really use some help from a someone who knows a lot about PATA including
mode programming.

In both mwdma and pio cases, they're just turning off UDMA. Don't know
whether it's actually necessary but still afraid to change it unless
there is a good reason.
