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.

This seems necessary... but too instrusive and not yet well tested
enough for 2.6.29-rc?
I think we either need this patch or turn 32-bit PIO off for this driver
for 2.6.29. Without either, things may break.
