I'm afraid I don't have any such AMD devices to test this along with yours, and the only non-0 slop that I've seen in testing has been 2 (about 25% of ops, so I removed the "unlikely"). But this patch works as well for me as the patch I posted before (though much more verbose: please simplify if you see a better way). [PATCH] libata sff: 32bit PIO use 16bit on slop 871af1210f13966ab911ed2166e4ab2ce775b99d libata: Add 32bit PIO support causes errors on a four-year-old ata_piix Dell Precision 670. Using 16bit PIO instead of 32bit PIO on the odd 1 or 2 chars fixes that, but Alan Cox indicates that we should still use 32bit for 3 chars.
