The mainboard MSI E350DM-E33 is advertised with 6 SATA ports.
As it turns out, two of them seem to be driven by on-board
SATA<->PATA converters. If a disk drive is connected to one
of them kernel uses UDMA/33 mode due to cable detection:

This patch forces "short cable" mode on this board, as it seems clear that
the on-board SATA<->PATA "cable" is short.
With this patch the disk is configured for UDMA/100:

[    5.976756] ata5.00: ATA-8: WDC WD20EADS-00R6B0, 01.00A01, max UDMA/133
[    5.996434] ata5.00: 3907029168 sectors, multi 16: LBA48 NCQ (depth 0/32)
[    6.024787] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/100

Testing revealed no transfer issues.
