it821x: PIO mode setup fixes
...
*cough, cough* ;)

The real problem seems to be that IT821x "virtual" ID misses info
about supported DMA modes (while it seems to contain enabled DMA
mode info).
This would be the logical explanation why the driver broke after:

[PATCH] it821x: fix ide dma setup bug
Only enable dma for a valid speed setting.

[PATCH] ide: if the id fields looks screwy, disable DMA
It's the safer choice. Originally due to a bug in itx821x, but a
generally sound thing to do.
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@...e.de>
Bogus ide_dma_enable() usage in it821x.c + loosy check in ide_dma_verbose()
allowed the hardware to operate in DMA mode, when these bugs were fixed
DMA support broke...

It seems that somebody has already debugged this issue to
the aforementioned changes:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/1/14/110
Thomas, does the following patch against 2.6.22-rc1 fix the issue?
[ Patch is based on the above theory and Alan's work on pata_it821x.
Sorry for no real description (TODO) but it's almost 3:00 am ... ]
