Subject: Re: 2.6.29-rc libata sff 32bit PIO regression

And while we are at it fix the 32bit PIO handling for VLB for this case
too

pata_legacy: For VLB 32bit PIO don't try tricks with slop

From: Alan Cox <alan@...rguk.ukuu.org.uk>

These devices are generally used with ATA anyway and it seems that some
ATAPI will need us to issue the right number of words. Therefore as we
can't switch mid burst on VLB devices we should only use 32bit I/O for
suitable block sizes.
