Here is a 2.4.21-rc1 version of the patch, with a few modificaions
due to the changes in IDE..

Actually UDMA mode detection is not working at all for CSB5 in
2.4.21-rc1 because svwks_revision variable is set in __init function
so was reading as 0 in svwks_ratemask(). This made it think UDMA
mode 2 was the max supported, when in reality new revisions do UDMA
mode 5 and old revisions are mode 4 max.

The bad_ata100 list has been extended to include the whole family
of Barracuda ATA IV drives; we only shipped the 80gb and 40gb models
from that series so the others were not listed before.
