Subjectpata_it821x in 2.6.27 - works but no LBA48 and "hdparm -t" is slower
Date
Hello,
big thanks to Alan Cox for the work on pata_it821x driver. I just upgraded to 2.6.27
and my RAID1 on IT8212 controller now works without any patching.

Good that I haven't resized my 30GB partition to full drive capacity yet because LBA48
does not work:

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKC] enabled at IRQ 11

Also "hdparm -t" is slower (but "hdparm -t --direct" isn't - so it probably isn't pata_it821x issue):
2.6.26 (with my crappy patch):
/dev/sdb:
Timing buffered disk reads: 60 MB in 3.01 seconds = 19.91 MB/sec

/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 194 MB in 3.00 seconds = 64.62 MB/sec

/dev/sdb:

Model=Integrated Technology Express Inc , FwRev=, SerialNo=▒PX
Config={ }
RawCHS=0/0/0, TrkSize=0, SectSize=0, ECCbytes=0
BuffType=unknown, BuffSize=0kB, MaxMultSect=0
(maybe): CurCHS=0/0/0, CurSects=0, LBA=no
IORDY=no
PIO modes: pio0
AdvancedPM=no

* signifies the current active mode

2.6.27:
/dev/sdb:
Timing buffered disk reads: 48 MB in 3.08 seconds = 15.57 MB/sec

/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 196 MB in 3.02 seconds = 64.81 MB/sec

/dev/sdb:

Model=Integrated Technology Express Inc , FwRev=, SerialNo=▒'T

Drive conforms to: Unspecified: ATA/ATAPI-0,1,2,3,4
