pata_efar: MWDMA0 is unsupported

skipped, pending discussion (just sent email)

There's basically nothing to discuss -- the PIIX like chips don't
support MWDMA0 (with an acceptable cycle length, if at all, anyway). The
way the driver is written, MWDMA0 is simply programmed overclocked.

Nothing to discuss either, this looks like a single digit typo to me...

Yeah, missed that.  Bart provided a link, too.

Nothing to discuss...

Perhaps discuss was the wrong word.  After reviewing each thread, in 
each case, it remained unclear whether the original patch was correct or 
not, especially since the docs seemed to list MWDMA0 as supported on 
PIIX-like chips.

Thanks for going over these, that should clear up my confusion.
