The sun3 driver does set the borken flag but never uses it later - can't 
see where it will inhibit PIO.

It inhibited PIO when it forked the atari code and commented out the test 
for cmd->device->borken, to ensure that PIO would never be used here.

Hence my suggestion that PIO itself was expected was problematic. OTOH, 
PIO is used up to 128 bytes, and beyond 128 bytes if !REQ_TYPE_FS...
