We may need to set SITRE before programming slave_data.

Do you have a documentation cite for this or is it random fiddling with
a
driver you can't test ?

It is good to enable SITRE register before programming it and all
Intel controllers

That sounds like someone quoting religion. Documentation cite please.
  SLC90E66 datasheet only says that SIDETIM register has no effect without
SITRE bit set.
Alan, is this explanation sufficient to ACK this patch?  (Thanks
Sergei for digging it out.)

Jeff, would it be possible to queue patches #01-15 for 2.6.39 if there
are no further concerns with them (thus leaving the merging of
PIIX-like drivers for later)?  They got additional testing on ICH4 and
they look mostly safe & straight-forward compared to #16-21.

Thanks,
Bartlomiej
