[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, 2 or 3 chars fixes that.

For the 3 bytes of slop it should use a single iowrite32 but otherwise
that seems ok. We do need to handle the FIFO setup on the AMD differently
if we do this ...

Sorry, I believe you were waiting on me for this, to accompany your
AMD and VLB patches.  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).

but Alan Cox indicates that we should still use 32bit for 3 chars.

  How about the following?

		unsigned char *tail = buf + buflen - slop;
		unsigned char pad[4];

		if (rw == READ) {
			if (slop <= 2)
				ioread16_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
			else
				ioread32_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
			memcpy(tail, pad, slop);
		} else {
			memcpy(pad, tail, slop);
			memset(pad + slop, 0, 4 - slop);
			if (slop <= 2)
				iowrite16_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
			else
				iowrite32_rep(data_addr, pad, 1);
		}

 	}
-	return words << 2;
+
+	return buflen + (buflen & 1);

   return (buflen + 1) & ~1;

  Well, I guess I could just have posted my own patch... :-)

MBR, Sergei
