Hello.

These drivers inherited from the older 'hpt366' IDE driver the buggy timing
register masks in their set_piomode() metods. As a result, too low command
cycle active time is programmed for slow PIO modes.  Quite fortunately, it's
later "fixed up" by the set_dmamode() methods which also "helpfully" reprogram
the command timings, usually to PIO mode 4.

However, the drivers added some breakage of their own too:  the bit that they
set/clear to control the FIFO is wrong -- it's actually the MSB of the command
cycle setup time; setting it in DMA mode is also wrong as this bit is only for
PIO actually...

Fix all this and bump the drivers' versions, accounting for recenjt patches
that forgot to do it...

Sergei, pata_hpt37x contains another copy of ->set_{piomode,dmamode} methods
(for HPT372 and later chipsets) which also need to be updated.

  Oh, horror... :-(
They also all need to be squashed together and the interrupt bit manipulation moved to some other place...
