au1xxx-ide: fix MWDMA support
Always use "fast" MWDMA support and remove dma_{black,white}_list
(they were based on completely bogus ->ide_dma_check implementation
which didn't set neither the host controller timings nor the device
for the desired transfer mode).

126 | Step 1 : detect the model name of your hard disc | ||
127 | |||
128 | a) connect your hard disc to the AU1XXX | ||
129 | |||
130 | b) boot your kernel and get the hard disc model. | ||

156 | Step 4 : Tests | ||
157 | |||
158 | If you have add a hard disc to the white list, please run some stress tests | ||
159 | for verification. | ||
