We seem to have had a lot of reports of CF cards failing with MDMA modes recently.
Some of these reports are because of SATA<>PATA bridge chips that don't support MDMA,
others are due to unknowns.
The solution is beginning to look more and more obvious: default to not use MDMA
modes for CF devices at boot. And eventually provide a sysfs or libata parameter
(or support/snoop SET_XFER_MODE) to change the mode later.
Cheers
