     { ATA_SIS652,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 652" }
     { ATA_SIS751,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 751" }
     { ATA_SIS752,  0x00, SIS_SOUTH, 0, ATA_UDMA6, "SiS 752" }

Or so it seems, it depends on the southbridge on the board, so this is
the max, but depending on the actual HW it can be UDMA5.

The ATA driver is in violent flux currently, but I will update the
man page when I'm done with the changes..
