I am running a RELENG_6 from yesterday on amd64 and the VIA PATA

The kernel config is simply a generic kernel with SMP, device polling and
geli/crypto added to it.

The device in question from pciconf -lv:

atapci0@pci0:15:0: class=0x01018a card=0x81b51043 chip=0x05711106
rev=0x07 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
device = 'VT82xxxx EIDE Controller (All VIA Chipsets)'
class = mass storage
subclass = ATA

Unfortunately I cannot say what motherboard is in the machine as it is a
leased dedicated server.

My system shows the same PATA controller;

atapci1@pci0:15:1: class=0x01018a card=0x80ed1043 chip=0x05711106 rev=0x06
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc'
device = 'VT82xxxx EIDE Controller (All VIA Chipsets)'
class = mass storage
subclass = ATA

The only difference is that your chipset has a higher revision number.

But it is recognized without problems:

atapci1: <VIA 8237 UDMA133 controller> port
0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xfc00-0xfc0f at device 15.1 on pci0
