I'd expect this to be needed with all drives, since IIUC prefetch is
working based on either fixed or programmable sector size. And here the
out-of-band PIO protocol itself (which fails to be taken into account by the
patch) implies mixed 8- and 16- bit I/O which should also be muddling up the
prefetch logic.
