[PATCH] ide: rework the code for selecting the best DMA transfer mode

Depends on the "ide: fix UDMA/MWDMA/SWDMA masks" patch.

I'm now trying to rewrite hpt366.c to benefit more from these patches... and alas, this very patch seems to be breaking filtering (at least) in this driver. :-]

Note the subtle difference between the old and new behavior: the old driver code was applying UltraDMA filter *after*
the cable type limit, and the new code does it *before*.

  Was there any particular reason to change that order?

  Ah, I see. Cable-reduced mask can't be passed back to driver's filter. This needs changing.
