The CMD646 is already supported & has been since Feb. 2000.  I
browbeat Soren into supporting it for the alpha port -- its used on
quite a few low-end alphas (pc164{s,l}x, first rev miatas, etc).  From
a pc164lx:

Jan 11 14:34:21 bacon /kernel: ata-pci0: <CMD 646 ATA controller (generic mode)> irq 5 at device 11.0 on pci0
Jan 11 14:34:21 bacon /kernel: ata-pci0: Busmastering DMA supported

Maybe somebody could give you a kernel with the ATA driver compiled
in?
