A newer version than the one I have. Looks like there's at least one newer
chip revision than the 0x11 that I have too.

Just need to add something like this to get it to compile.

Some quick test results I just got. My set up is a IT8212 PCI card running
two UDMA133 discs in software RAID0. I'd like to test the smart RAID some
time, but that isn't really practical at the moment.

IT8212: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:0c.0
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:00:0c.0[A] -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17
IT8212: chipset revision 17
IT8212: 100% native mode on irq 17
That makes sense.

ide2: BM-DMA at 0xec00-0xec07, BIOS settings: hde:pio, hdf:pio
it8212: controller in RAID mode.

That doesn't. I have no RAID sets defined in the IT8212 card BIOS. BTW, the
BIOS is an old one and should be updated. However when I tried the updater
claimed success, but on reboot it hadn't changed.

ide3: BM-DMA at 0xec08-0xec0f, BIOS settings: hdg:pio, hdh:pio
hde: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive
it8212: selected 50MHz clock.

Nor does this as it really should be using the 66MHz clock setting.

ide2 at 0xb000-0xb007,0xa802 on irq 17
hde: max request size: 128KiB
hde: recal_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hde: recal_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
Any idea what could be causing this? My hacked driver doesn't get this in
2.6.7, but then it could be a 2.6.8 problem.

hde: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,
UDMA(33)

Oddly my driver reports UDMA(33) too, but that's probably bad coding as it is
definitely running faster than that.

/dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 p2
hdg: Maxtor 6Y120P0, ATA DISK drive
it8212: selected 50MHz clock.
ide3 at 0xa400-0xa407,0xa002 on irq 17
hdg: max request size: 128KiB
hdg: recal_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdg: recal_intr: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hdg: 240121728 sectors (122942 MB) w/7936KiB Cache, CHS=65535/16/63,
UDMA(33)
/dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0: p1 p2
And the same speed problems again.

Now some speed tests with hdparm

# hdparm -Tt /dev/hd[eg] /dev/md[01]

/dev/hde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 3016 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1505.97 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 86 MB in 3.02 seconds = 28.49 MB/sec

/dev/hdg:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 3012 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1504.72 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 86 MB in 3.02 seconds = 28.46 MB/sec

/dev/md0:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2928 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1462.03 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 156 MB in 3.01 seconds = 51.90 MB/sec

/dev/md1:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2996 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1495.98 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 156 MB in 3.01 seconds = 51.77 MB/sec

So I guess it actually is running at 33MHz!

Current results with my hack

# hdparm -Tt /dev/hd[eg] /dev/md[01]

/dev/hde:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2980 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1488.74 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 172 MB in 3.02 seconds = 57.04 MB/sec

/dev/hdg:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2988 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1493.48 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 170 MB in 3.03 seconds = 56.15 MB/sec

/dev/md0:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2964 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1480.74 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 286 MB in 3.00 seconds = 95.25 MB/sec

/dev/md1:
Timing buffer-cache reads: 2924 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1460.03 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 290 MB in 3.01 seconds = 96.33 MB/sec
