This patch assumes the mode filter patches were applied, if not then ping
me and I'll send the trivially different patch (extra argument to
mode_filter)
Don't assume the BIOS can validate modes or has any sense at all. Instead use
the BIOS timings to deduce the modes.

Can I get a better email subject and patch description please?
Just reply to this email, and I can hand-edit the patch from there.
"pata_acpi: restore driver" is a bad one-line summary, because nothing
was lost (hence nothing to be restored). it's simply a new driver.
The patch description is also wanting -- it describes work-in-progress,
but should really be a summary of what the pata_acpi driver is, why we
want it, and how it works.
Email some text, and I shall apply straightaway.
Jeff
