Thats a barrier to real PATA IDE I guess then. We see a lot of cable
errors and speed change downs and not all are caused by misdetecting
80wire cables.

The current IDE layer does speed changes synchronously outside the state
machine which makes a nasty mess when your error handling interrupt
state wants to speed change.
