 CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82C586
-  This adds initial timing settings for VIA (U)DMA onboard ide

-  not tested to date.
+  This allows you to to configure your chipset for a better use while
+  running (U)DMA: it will allow you to enable efficiently the second
+  channel dma usage, as it is may not be set by BIOS. It allows you to
+  run a kernel command line at boot time in order to set fifo config.
+  If no command line is provided, it will try to set fifo configuration
+  at its best. It will allow you to get a proc/ide/via display
+  (while running a "cat") provided you enabled "proc" support and

+  Since multiple cards can be installed and there are BIOS ROM problems
+  that happen if the BIOS revisions of all installed cards (three-max)
+  do not match.  Should you be unable to make new BIOS chips with a burner,
+  the driver attempts to dynamic tuning of the chipset at boot-time
