You do need a separate driver because you've got no guarantee that the
PATA chip you are driving has a non-ACPI driver of any kind. For the
Nvidia PATA Tejun may be right, although it'll be very risky since you've
no idea what the ACPI methods decide to reconfigure the moment you start
touching the chip via ACPI and directly.
