kernel incantation needed - pata_it821x to noraid mode

[Gregory Woodbury]

In trying to help debug an issue with the ITE8212 controller I want to force
the controller out of "smart mode"

reading thrugh the source code seems to indicate that adding
   pata_821x=noraid

to the kernel command line should do the trick, but I may be missing
something.
Would some kind kernel guru please provide the right incantation?

pata_it821x.noraid=1 on the cmdline should do it.
