Ok?

I've hacked FILO to read up to 256 blocks per ATA command now, but am
repeatedly getting some bad data here and there already in the first
10kb at kern_addr.

I'll investigate more but maybe someone has an idea already?

The two hexdumps don't change after reset.

There's a note in ide.c:pio_data_in() :
        /* FIXME handle commands with multiple blocks */

..but looking at the ATA PDF the code looks OK as it is, plus I'm
getting bad data already in the first sector. Dunno.
