    I've looked thru the code, and found more issues with the PIO fallback 
there. Will try to cook up patches for at least some drivers...

    This function looks like it's working (thouugh having the wrong limit of 
PIO5 on auto-tuning) but is unnecassary complex.
    Heh, the driver is certainly a rip-off form hpt366.c. What a doubtful 
example they have chosen... :-)

    It's simply stupid to convert PIO mode to PIO mode. The whole idea is 
doubtful as well..

    Well, well, the tuneproc() method can't ahndle auto-tunuing here (255)...
And it also doesn't set up drive's own speed. The code seem to be another 
rip-off from piix.c, repeating all its mistakes... :-)

    This function will always set PIO mode 4. Mess.

    Could be folded into tuneproc() method call.

    This driver's tuneproc() method always auto-tunes here instead of setting 
what it's told too -- I'll send a patch...

    This function will also always set PIO mode 4. More mess.

     Ugh, PIO fallback effectively always tries to set mode 4 here (thanks 
it's not 5). Mess.
