Great, thanks for testing it (and once again sorry for the trouble).

Since you have verified that serialization is not needed we should get rid
of it while we are at it (it negatively affects performance of simultaneous
operations on both ports of the controller).

I begin to wonder whether this problem could be the one responsible for
generating the spurious IRQ that we are seeing on the second port (I think
that this is _very_ likely)..

I promised to look into it but I still need a identify block content to
tell more (you can add #define DEBUG to the ide-probe.c so we will get id
before and after changing of transfer mode settings):
