With releases 8.04, 8.10 and now 9.04 beta I can confirm the same
behaviour.

In my case the problem shows up with an MSI CD writer/DVD reader:

    4.928302] ata6.00: ATAPI: ATAPI   COMBO52XMAX, VER 1.40, max UDMA/100
[    4.928318] ata6: nv_mode_filter: 0x3f39f&0x3f01f->0x3f01f, BIOS=0x3f000 
(0xc700c600) ACPI=0x3f01f (20:600:0x13)
[    4.928320] ata6.00: limited to UDMA/33 due to 40-wire cable
[    4.944246] ata6.00: configured for UDMA/33

hdparm confirms that the device is capable of UDMA/100 (mode 5) but
confirms that it is running at 33 (mode 2):

ATAPI CD-ROM, with removable media
        Model Number:       ATAPI   COMBO52XMAX

        Firmware Revision:  VER 1.40
Standards:
        Likely used CD-ROM ATAPI-1
Configuration:
        DRQ response: 50us.
        Packet size: 12 bytes
Capabilities:
        LBA, IORDY(cannot be disabled)
        DMA: mdma0 mdma1 mdma2 udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5 
             Cycle time: min=120ns recommended=120ns
        PIO: pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4 
             Cycle time: no flow control=227ns  IORDY flow control=120ns


A UDMA/133 hard disc on the same motherboard is no problem:-

     4.728459] ata5.00: ATA-7: Maxtor 2F030J0, VAM51JJ0, max UDMA/133
[    4.728462] ata5.00: 60058656 sectors, multi 1: LBA

(0xc700c600) ACPI=0x7f01f (15:600:0x13)
[    4.744392] ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133
