Couldn't reproduce that yet but the HPA case should be fixed by the
following patch:
pata_it821x: With newer firmware we see HPA flags
From: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>
We don't want HPA flags set at this point as we don't allow the issuing of
HPA operations via the 'smart' firmware interface. It could be 1.7 firmware
supports this but for the moment the blunt hammer is appealing (one reason
being right now we don't actually know how to peek at the firmware rev!)
