The new code knows how to set MWDMA2 timings properly, and it knows about
picking timings that also work for PIO. That's not my credit however, it
came for free when we adopted and used the ide-timing.h code from Vojtech
Pavlik.
I know Sergei thinks we should probably switch timings between PIO and
DMA operations when needed rather than run slower so it will be
interesting to know what this drive actually needs to behave with libata.
