Old IDE is wrong on this and in fact unless it has changed recently simply can't cope with and doesn't provide functions for it. A libata
It's not as wrong as you're trying to paint it: ide_get_best_pio_mode() has been here for ages and it have been returning the IORDY setting -- although it actually asks the drive only when auto-tuning the mode, and when being given the explicit mode only tells to use IORDY on modes > 2.
