Before and after the swncq-atapi-pio patch I still get awful read
times from the BD-ROM drive:

$ time dd if=/dev/sr0 of=/dev/null bs=64k count=1024
67108864 bytes (67 MB) copied, 106.945 seconds, 628 kB/s
=> real	1m46.977s

Compared to reading the same DVD in my DVD-ROM drive:

$ time dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/null bs=64k count=1024
67108864 bytes (67 MB) copied, 13.8403 seconds, 4.8 MB/s
=> real	0m13.860s

I attached the full dmesg after the swncq-atapi-pio patch.
