IT8212 driver seems to be broken - no DMA or functionality in general

I sent Jeff a set of fixes for this for the libata driver. Some changes
in libata broke some tricks the pata_it821x driver did. I've rewritten
those bits and parts of the core libata to sort that out and my IT821x
RAID card is back to health with libata. Hopefully .27 will behave
somewhat better therefore.

No idea about the old IDE driver. I don't think anyone maintains that one
any more but it certainly used to work.

It should still work.  Peter, please try with 2.6.27-rc2 (2.6.26 needs
a fix which is queued for the next -stable release).
