Speed down rules were too conservative. Adjust them a bit. * More than 10 timeouts can't happen in 5 minutes as command timeout is 30secs. Lower the limit for rule #1 to 6. * 10 timeouts is too high for rule #3 too. Lower it to 6. * SATAPI can benefit from falling back to PIO too. Allow SATAPI devices to fall back to PIO.
