MWDMA0 timings cannot be met with the PIIX based controller

The efar documentation makes no reference to not being capable of MWDMA0,
so where does this come from ? No MWDMA0 is an Intel erratum it appears.

No MWDMA0 support is a common issue on all 'PIIX-like' controllers.

In case of this chipset while the (preliminary) documentation claims MWDMA0
support on the 'FEATURES' page the later 'programming guide' part describes
only PIO0-4, SWDMA2, MWDMA1-2 and UDMA0-4 transfer modes as supported.

Cool - I only have the original docs.

Hm, me too... perhaps worth putting in Jeff's documentation archive?

Me too? I just have what 'The Good Uncle Google' has..

Well, I've googled for it and was unable to find any valid links even to my preliminary version anymore. Perhaps I haven't looked hard enough...
