This IDENTIFY issue seems already fixed in -rc2. No more pause, and my
DVD-ROM works fine again. Unfortunately, another issue seems to have
cropped up. On 2.6.20-rc2, hdparm -t /dev/sda gets me ~ 24 M/s while
both the old IDE driver and the 2.6.19 PATA driver do ~ 50 M/s

2.6.20-rc2-ata:

# hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
  Timing buffered disk reads:   72 MB in  3.03 seconds =  23.75 MB/sec

2.6.19-ata:

# hdparm -t /dev/sda

/dev/sda:
  Timing buffered disk reads:  150 MB in  3.00 seconds =  49.94 MB/sec

Here's the ata part of the 2.6.20-rc2 dmesg:

There's some difference with respect to caching versus 2.6.19 it seems? 
The same bit for 2.6.19:
