I believe cmd64x can be disabled.
I don't believe cmd64x PATA is built into any PA-RISC system.
cmd680 PATA driver is needed for C8000:

(More info on C8000 http://www.openpa.net/systems/hp_c8000.html )
At one point, we might have thought c8000 had the same CDM649 PATA
controller as it's IA64 cousin, zx2000. They both use zx1 chipset:

But given the lspci output, that doesn't seem to be the case.
