I think there was a patch for 2.2.17-pre6 to use dma66, and that patch
seemed to work with 2.2.17-pre7 (with 2 hunks failing, but that part
was unused anyway).
But I've tried it with 2.2.17-pre19, and lots of hunks failed
(including in ide.c and pci-probe.c, IIRC)
I have not seen any ide patches for 2.2.17-pre19 or any of these more
recent ones...
