Hello, I wrote: The patch was 4/4 of course. :-< Probably I was too esctatic about the code. ;-)
The Marvell bridge chips used on HighPoint SATA cards do not seem to support the MWDMA modes (at least that caould be seen in their so-called drivers :-), so the driver needs to account for this -- to achieve this:
- add mdma_filter() method from the original patch by Bartlomiej Zolnierkewicz with his consent, also adding the method callout to ide_rate_filter();
- installed the method for all chips to only return empty mask if a SATA drive is detected onHPT372{AN]/374 chips...

--- This patch against the current Linus' tree and unfortunately I was able to only compile test it since that tree gives MODPOST warning and dies early on bootup. Will hopefully try to test if/when I have time... :-)
