Subject: How to activate pata support of ata_piix in vanilla 2.6.18?

Hi all,
sorry for bothering you with an ordinary user question.
Although I've applied the mini patch shown below to vanilla 2.6.18,
ata_piix apparently couldn't handle my hard drive on an IBM X40 with
ICH4-M chipset.

A git checkout of libata-dev.git worked out of the
box. My question is whether pata support in ata_piix was intentionally
not included in mainline as of 2.6.18 (even when ATA_ENABLE_PATA is
set), or if there may be a bug.
Regards,
Elias
