I suppose this means on PIIXes with rev 00 and 01 of the IDE controller
DMA transfers don't work reliably, right?

And this means that if there is an 84c4 PCI bridge in the system with
rev less than 04 (04 is OK), then DMA transfers are broken again.

This one confuses me, because the 0x84ca chip doesn't seem to have any
IDE capability. Is this id by any chance taken from the linux kernel?

This one is actually a PIIX5, not ICH.

Is there any workaround for that? Or there isn't to do anything about
the bug and we just have to live with it ...

Irq unmasking during PIO transfers is known to cause problems on
these. Also, some have wrong ISA bridge vendor ID of 1107.

I have docs on this one.

Has a bug where the preq# til ddack# bit must be cleared or can cause
spontaneous reboots.

That probably should be >= 10

I have docs here as well.

And for this, too.

Not true, for the UDMA100 and UDMA133 capable ones, there are defined
bits in the UDMA_TIMING register. Not all BIOSes use those, though.

Hmm, what's this one?

Correct.

This one is a PIIX clone, identical to PIIX4, except for slightly
different UDMA66 programming.

Do you have any info on this one? I'd really like to have a Linux driver
for it ...
