I see it's not really a cutting-edge design (2002). Apparently nobody seemed to care about Linux IDE performance before :-|



Yep. :/ Lionel, can I push this fix upstream?



Please do.

In fact I think I'm only a speed bumper here. There's so little work to do on the sis5513 driver now that I don't follow IDE work closely anymore and must refresh my memories even for such simple patches. I believe there are people around more fit than me for sis5513 maintenance.
With SATA, sis5513.c will soon be considered legacy code. I don't think a dedicated maintainer is usefull anymore, seems to me it would be better handled by someone with a broader view of IDE chipsets than me.

Any volunteeer ?

Lionel.
