Depending on the results of the second patch that I posted (the one
forcing bus-mastering in cs5520) we may want to:

- extend ->host_flags to be of u64 type and re-enable IDE_HFLAG_VDMA

or

- remove IDE_HFLAG_VDMA host flag completely

In the meantime the patch below un-broke cs5520 driver in the upstream
kernel nicely.
