This is wrong logic as I've alredy pointed out: according to the ATA-2 setting *any* PIO mode via 0x08..0x0c commands assumes IORDY is enabled. We should only set mode 0x01 (default w/IORDY disabled) if device supports IORDY and the host doesn't.

ata_pio_need_iordy is false if

- the controller does not support iordy

   Hm, I'm sorry -- it turned out that I was looking at 2.6.21...

or

- mode <= PIO 2 and the device does not support iordy

I can tighten that if to

	if (!ata_pio_need_iordy(dev) && ata_has_iordy(dev->id))
		tf.nsect = 0x01;
if you prefer ?

   Yeah, that'd be better. :-)
