Intel has been doing this for a while on their chipsets in Windows if
you install the Intel Application Accelerator (a fancy name for their
ATA driver package, once called the Intel UltraATA Driver before they
renamed it).  Definately a cool feature, but I try to keep the primary
system drive on its own channel and stick the other stuff (usually
just a CD-ROM drive and maybe a ZIP drive) on the second channel which
alleviates the problem entirely.
