Your patch was wrong because the SATA device should always be claimed by
libata.
The system is thus:
1) drivers/pci/quirks.c reserves SATA ports (only!) for libata

Great! That's precisely what's supposed to happen. Except, the hard
drive appears to be SATA, not PATA:
ata1: SATA
Jeff, I think he stated in an earlier post to the list, the model number
of the drive, and it is in fact a PATA drive... verified by checking
fujitsu's website. Or are you just saying that it shows up as sata by
coming up as /dev/sda since its connected to a PATA port on a sata

Nope. The harddisk is not SATA, it's PATA. See the links I posted
earlier. That's the whole point.
The controller thinks its a SATA device, so there is probably a bridge
installed.
I suppose it's something like that.

That's normal for combined mode. Until libata can do ATAPI

That's duff. The PATA harddisk that is used in my laptop, also comes in

That chipset is used in virtually all modern laptops,

No, PATA ATAPI DMA still needs the same fixes that SATA ATAPI does.

Hey Jeff, all,
I was wondering why ATA_ENABLE_PATA and ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI are #undef'ed in
include/linux/libata.h by default, since reverting them to #define's was the
only way to make the ata-piix driver detect my CDROM on my new shiny ThinkPad
