I found this in the AMD SB710 Databook, rev 1.60, p. 56:
"The integrated parallel ATA controller contains a single channel but
can be configured as primary or secondary channel."

The IDE connector on my Asrock 980DE3/U3S3 motherboard is configured as
the secondary channel. The primary channel is used by the optional
SATA-IDE emulation mode.

I don't know much about kernel programming, southbridges, or ata 
controllers, but I hope this bit of information helps.
