Here's a revised version of my previous patch to warn the user if a
drive's transfer rate is limited because of a 40-wire cable detection.
This one hopefully addresses Alan's previous comments - we now do this
at the very end of the function, and the ugly if condition has been
cleaned up somewhat. Also, it's been inadvertently tested (it seems that
pata_amd Nvidia cable detection is broken in current -git..)
