Try to apply the attached patch to /sys/dev/ata/ata-dma.c
Neither do I have a mainboard w/ the same chipset as yours nor do I have 
any PC running RELENG_4 atm. But I had to apply sth similar to make my 
SiS-746(?)-based mainboard work under RELENG_4. I'm not a developer so I 
don't know if it's a good and clean solution but it worked for me back then.

 From bfe(4): "The bfe device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1."
