Just tested the patch, all seems well here.

tahallah[alex]:/home/alex # hdparm -tT /dev/hda

/dev/hda:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.27 seconds =39.14 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 7.08 seconds = 9.04 MB/sec
tahallah[alex]:/home/alex # hdparm -tT /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 128 MB in 3.35 seconds =38.21 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 64 MB in 14.48 seconds = 4.42 MB/sec

All seems correct. IDE chipset used is Intel PIIX3.

Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 6.19
PIIX3: IDE controller on PCI bus 00 dev 39

ide1: BM-DMA at 0xffa8-0xffaf, BIOS settings: hdc:pio, hdd:pio

Works for me =) Unfortunately, no UDMA-33/66 controllers to test with yet.
Trying to get hold of Promise UDMA-66 controllers soon.

There is one fly in the ointment. I'm a bit worried about the length of
special cabling I will need for UDMA 33 & 66 on my machine. It's a huge
tower case and the current leads are 36" (I had some 18" cables but they
were too short to reach the motherboard's controller!) What's the max.
length I'll need for UDMA 66?

Cheers,
Alex
