It doesn't know about SiS 5591 PCI IDE controller, the wdc controller
knows. I'm speaking about boot messages, nothing else. Furthermore the
wdc driver sets up UDMA mode on my UDMA capable disks, ata driver
doesn't. It claims that busmastering DMA is supported and sets up WDMA2
mode instead, I think it's normal as it currently doesn't know about
5591. The WDMA2 isn't really that bad and otherwise I'm using ata driver
quite happily. Just FYI.
