With 32bit PIO we can use the posted write buffers, but only for 32bit I/O
cycles.  This means we must disable the FIFO for ATAPI where a final 16bit
cycle may occur.

Rework the FIFO logic so that we disable the FIFO then selectively
re-enable it when we set the timings on AMD devices.  Also fix a case
where we scribbled on PCI config 0x41 of Nvidia chips when we shouldn't.

Pinged Alan on 2/2, no response.

This seems necessary... but too instrusive and not yet well tested enough for 2.6.29-rc?
