UDMA on TX-Pro chipset (Aladdin IV+)

It has been brought up by myself, and others in the past, about
support for UDMA on the TX-Pro chipset. I had looked on the net
for datasheets for this chipset, and ended up on a useless
webpage at acer labs in Tiawan. I turned up nothing.

I'm thus wondering if anyone else has turned up the datasheets,
and perhaps silently added the code needed for UDMA on this
chipset into the kernel. If not, has anyone created a patch that
adds proper support. I've received a few patches from people in
the past that supposedly allow UDMA on this chipset, but in an
unsafe manner. After much thought I decided against trying it
out.

I'd certainly like to try proper support out though, if someone
can point me to a patch, or whatever. Does the latest "Jumbo"
patch contain support for TX-PRO?

Thanks in advance, TTYL
