suspiciously like it's loosing timer interrupts, which would indeed
point to PIO.

Indeed, so you are ysing multiword mode 2. Can you try and do a dd from
the drive, while doing a vmstat 1? Also, does that show the jerky

AFAIK, Prakash cannot reproduce this bad behaviour with mm1, only mm2 (is
this right, Prakash?). So its something there (don't forget Andrew merges
the latest bk with his releases too).
