libata limiting to UDMA/33 instead of UDMA/100

Hi, After switching an older machine over from the PDC20265 PATA driver to the libata driver pata_pdc202xx_old my HDDs are now limited to UDMA/33. With the old driver they were happily running with UDMA/100. I'm including the relevant kernel output for both cases below. Cheers, - Udo
