I was lazy to correctly update the cosmetical timing printk() output in
the 2.0.x version, since the 2.0.x version is not displaying the chipset
timing by default (DISPLAY_TRITON_TIMING is undefined).
As for the actual operation, the Ultra-DMA 33 mode of the 82371AB is
not supported yet. For the operation of other DMA modes, the 82371AB
is backward compatible with the 82371SB and 82371FB chipsets.
