The tragic bit is that we were sold similar DOMs in 2007...

OK. (Grumble)

Double word is 32 bits, right? Isn't "Cannot perform double-word IO" in
contradiction with the following statements?
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
Buffer size: 1.0kB bytes avail on r/w long: 4
(Assuming an 8-bit byte, 4 bytes = 32 bits)

When you say "the current libata IDE" do you mean PATA_VIA (in my case)?
I've avoided this driver because it is marked EXPERIMENTAL. Would there
be any benefit in using it over the legacy ATA/MFM/RLL driver?
