This isn't just via but possibly all drivers
that call ide-iops.c::ide_config_drive_speed() --

arm/icside.c pci/aec62xx.c pci/alim15x3.c pci/amd74xx.c pci/cmd64x.c
pci/cs5530.c pci/hpt34x.c pci/hpt366.c pci/it8172.c pci/nvidia.c
pci/pdc202xx_new.c pci/pdc202xx_old.c pci/piix.c pci/sc1200.c
pci/serverworks.c pci/siimage.c pci/sis5513.c pci/sl82c105.c
pci/slc90e66.c pci/via82cxxx.c

The following bit kills the noise:
