[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?

This case 0x01 will *never* be hit for HPT370 chip with the new code, therefore the filter won't get applied.

Oh, and for HPT36x chips used with 40c cable too (unless they're artificaially reduced to UltraDMA/33 by the driver #define's).

Well, that case 0x00 should never actually happen.

In fact, we only need a filter for HPT36x/370 chips -- I'll address it in my patch.
