The current 2.6.17-rc6-mm2 tree sets UDMA speed for my IDE harddisk to 33, whereas Alans patch-2.6.17-rc4-ide1.gz
patch has it at 100. This results in hdparm -T /dev/sda measurements on -mm2 roughly halved from 60+ MB/sec to 30+ MB/sec.
Measurements were in both cases taken on kernels based off 2.6.17-rc6, with Alans -rc4 patch forward-fitted.
The remaining three ATAPI devices get UDMA/33 in both setups.
Alans ide patch for 2.6.17-rc4 conflicts with this post-rc4 change in drivers/scsi/libata-core.c:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=bb31a8faa270beafcc51a65880c5564c6b718bd6;hp=387e2b0439026aa738a9edca15a57e5c0bcb4dfc
Following patch can be used in -rc[56] after applying Alans patch in order to apply the failed hunk and also keep the post-rc4 patch from git:
