Bug#340228: [PATCH, IDE] Blacklist CD-912E/ATK

That may be the case but knowing if th drive is the problem is more
tricky.
Firstly try it on a different controller
Secondly check for other firmware revisions
Thirdly blacklist only your firmware rev if there are others

That is an IDE layer bug not a drive incompatibility. It may be one
triggered the other but until the BUG the kernel was correctly behaving
and had just turned off DMA anyway.
