[BUG?] ata disk running maximum at DMA33 with 2.6.20 and new pata driver, NV CK804 ide controller.

Hi,
since upgrading to kernel 2.6.20 my pata disk, using new pata driver, is
initialized maximum in DMA33 mode (and obviously performances drop
consequently), as you can see from:

I have other 2 sata disks on this system, and I have no problems with
them. I Wonder if this is due to some controller/disk problem triggered
just by 2.6.20 kernel (I saw there are a lot of changes into eh code),
while 2.6.19.X and previous sees everything OK.
Also forf the sata disks, in fact, I see this "doesn't support DPO or FUA"
warning, but I have to admit I do not know which features it is referred to.
