Hmm, interesting. This line has been added at early stage of IDE rewrite
to work around some unrelated bug, IIRC. I strongly suspect that it's
not needed anymore (will verify it later today), and it also might explain
weird DMA breakage with older ALi chips.
BTW, have you tried recent 2.4 kernels? Looks like this line should be
removed in 2.4 as well.
