Hello,
big thanks to Alan Cox for the work on pata_it821x driver. I just upgraded to 2.6.27
and my RAID1 on IT8212 controller now works without any patching.
Good that I haven't resized my 30GB partition to full drive capacity yet because LBA48
does not work:

Also "hdparm -t" is slower (but "hdparm -t --direct" isn't - so it probably isn't pata_it821x issue):
2.6.26 (with my crappy patch):

/dev/sdb:
Timing O_DIRECT disk reads: 194 MB in 3.00 seconds = 64.62 MB/sec
