need to downgrade, downgrade to PIO, as it has been shown if we got CRC errors
in Ultra-DMA mode, we will have silent data corruption in multiword DMA mode
(isn't IDE wonderfull ? :).
Set timeout to 1s for "normal" ata I/O, to minimise the effects of missed
interrupts.
the disk is ready to transfer data, and in ATA-5 the DSC has been obsoleted.
So only wait for DRQ to transfer data. This can be made conditional on the
ATA version if it's proven to break with some drives (worked with all the
drives I have access to).
While I'm there correct a few typos.
an array of fixed-sized channel_softc elements. This way IDE controllers
which more than 1 channel (pciide) can extend the channel data easily
for private needs.
To avoid the double dereference at runtime, change the argument of
wdcstart() to the channel data pointer instead of the array index.
