That shouldn't be a problem to apply.

I wonder how enabling UDMA makes that possible.

Looks like both share the same registers and interrupt and viaide(4) doesn't
handle this, or maybe viaide1 doesn't really exist. You can use pcictl to
dump the configuration space, in particular the BAR entries to shine a
