Some uli controllers have simplex bit stuck high indicating that they
can't perform DMA transfers simultaneously on both channels. In this
case, libata configures the second channel as PIO only. This has been
worked around by the following commit.
commit b2a8bbe67d73631c71492fd60b757fc50a87f182

libata: implement ATA_FLAG_IGN_SIMPLEX and use it in sata_uli
Some uli controllers have stuck SIMPLEX bit which can't be cleared
with ata_pci_clear_simplex(), but the controller is capable of doing
DMAs on both channels simultaneously. Implement ATA_FLAG_IGN_SIMPLEX
which makes libata ignore the simplex bit and use it in sata_uli.

For quick fix, just comment out lines which set ATA_HOST_SIMPLEX in
drivers/scsi/libata-bmdma.c. e.g.
/*if (inb(bmdma + 2) & 0x80)
probe_ent->host_set_flags |= ATA_HOST_SIMPLEX;*/
