These devices are generally used with ATA anyway and it seems that some
ATAPI will need us to issue the right number of words.  Therefore as we
can't switch mid burst on VLB devices we should only use 32bit I/O for
suitable block sizes.

Pinged Alan on 2/2, no response.

This was not signed-off-by by Alan, which is unlike him. Also, there were no comments about testing.

So it seemed to me a test patch that I should hold onto, and waiting for Alan's and others' comments first.
