The patch has been submitted for upstream to mainline kernel and has been applied by kernel maintainer Jeff Garzik(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ide/msg37144.html). I understand the kernel of Lucid Lynx has been frozen. But this patch only adds a pci id into pata_via.c as below. Please kindly help integrate it into Lucid Lynx.

Hello Bruce,

as it is only and ID quirks, those look acceptable. One thing, could you please
get back to Joseph and Jeff and ask whether they could send a note about this
patch to stable at kernel.org. I think this patch would qualify there as well.

Thank you,
Stefan

I would pick this as (pre-stable) from upstream
