This should be correctly supported as of 2.1.122 with the addition if
via82c586.c code for setting chipset timing controls. You must
enable this in the configure process. This is considered EXPERIMENTAL
do to all of the earlier VIA chipset through the present use the same
ID codes for the IDE controller. This directly implies that earlier
that VP3 and MVP3 boards may not except these settings. The bigger task
related to this chipset is to pre-detect the revision and provide
work-arounds as avaliable.
2.0.35 requires the addition of Jumbo9 to get this new support.
