Your ULi controller is reporting that it supports UDMA upon only one
channel at a time. The kernel is honouring this information. The older
ULi (was ALi) PATA devices report simplex but let you turn it off so see
if the following does the trick. Test carefully as always with disk driver
changes.
(Jeff probably best to check the docs before merging this but I believe
it is sane)
