if this refers to drive_list_entry - it is fixed in Linus' tree

ide-au1xxx driver enables IRQ unmasking unconditionally,
could it be that hardware actually needs IRQs to be masked
during PIO transfers?

Patch description says nothing about this change...

NAK.  Please don't re-introduce
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_AU1XXX_SEQTS_PER_RQ.

Either this controller works reliably with rqsize > 32 or not.

Also not mentioned in the patch description.
I don't see any code in the driver to handle SWDMA?
