the cs5536 pata driver have some geode platform dependent codes. We can
just ignore it, but the performance is poor(using hdparm to test it),
which only get 22+ MB/s. we find it only use udma2. However if using
amd74xx driver, it can set udma5, and the speed can reach to 50+ MB/s. 

we will test whether this driver is working well without this patch.

Anyway, thanks your advice.
