PATA driver is the same in this regard as IDE one.  They both try to
use DMA if supported by a device.  Would be great if you could fix
them (or at least PATA one) to limit your setup to PIO automatically
(please also note that you can limit libata to PIO manually these
days).

When it comes to CY82C693 there is also a leftover issue with PATA
driver that it only supports primary interface currently (BTW this is
why I left Alpha's defconfig alone for now - it uses CY82C693).  I can
look into fixing this (or assist in this work) if you are interested
in it.
