In your case given the BIOS appears to be informing us you have a 40wire

example, in /sys somewhere? hdparm fails to set a higher UDMA and I
looked at sdparm but don't see anything in it to increase UDMA...
Tejun some time ago added stuff to override all of these things:
See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
libata.force=
which will let you override all sorts of autodetection for quirky boards
I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a bug. The code in pata_via looks
a bit fishy, it reports a 40-wire cable if either the GTM data wasn't
present or valid, or if it reports a mode of UDMA2 or less. In the
former case it seems like ATA_CABLE_PATA_UNK would be the safer choice
since we really don't know, and we should then use drive-side detection,
rather than assuming a 40-wire cable by default..
