[2.6.18-rc2-mm1] pata_via fails

["J.A. Magallón" <jamagallon@ono.com>]

Yes, generic subject ;)

After solving the problems with ICH, one other stays. One box has a
VIA controller (in fact, this is a ApolloPro 266 chipset motherboard):

I built -rc2-mm1 with modular support for the VT82Cxxxx both through IDE and
libata. The only thing hung there is the burner.

When drived through standard IDE, I got this:

VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:11.1
PCI: VIA IRQ fixup for 0000:00:11.1, from 255 to 0
VP_IDE: chipset revision 6

If I load pata-via, I just wait a lot and get this:
