People with ATAPI problems: possible fix

[Marc-Olivier Killijian]

Hi,

I used to have the problem described by Branden Robinson in a previous
mail on DebianPPC: a Samsung CDRW/DVD that would not eject discs nor
play, nor anything.
I patched a 2.4.24-ben1 with your code and now the CD features are
working fine. I didn't test burning CDs or playing DVDs yet.

Cheers,
Marco
