Oddly I built 2.6.27.2 with the patch and the Efika "waited" for a disk to appear
and didn't get anywhere. If I set libata.dma=0 then it complained about missing
symbols (but not with it enabled!).

This was a clean SUSE kernel from Factory, with only the ATA patch applied with
a few hand-merges (pata_mpc52xx.c has had a line of whitespace removed at some
point, but otherwise identical).

I have port the patch back to 2.6.24.7 Kernel and I can't detect problems our errors, even with big files (40 mB) over FEC wich I save to card . We get performance up to 10,5mB/s which is near to the max. speed.
