Yes.

 This controller is basically the same as the ICH2 controller except it has
 extra powermanagment features as it's the for portable computers (hence
 the M=mobile). I'm currently using the attached patch which runs
 flawlessly on my laptop. However, I'm just an amature code hacker and
 hence can't guarentee I haven't missed something between the chipsets.

This patch seems about right, I have something very semilar in one
of my trees here, just I havn't had a chance to test it yet, but
if this works for you I guess I have my case :)

 The other question I have is why in ata-dma.c is there the fall through to
 the ICH chipset? It seems to prevent any drive actually using ATA100/UDMA5
 features.

The fallthrough is just for modes less than ATA100 which is setup the
same way as on the ICH therefore the same code..

I think there are a few chips like that, that cannot do ATA100, but only
vaguely remember hearing about it.
