The 82801 is a ICH6 chipset so you have the right IDE controller enabled. However the "Unknown device" would indicate that the controller isn't fully supported. Which is perhaps why you can't change the DMA.
This the problem with laptops, you cannot change the hardware that is provided. You could test libata in newer kernels, but it still is no guarantee. I suppose the other alternative is to wait some months and see if your chipset is finally recognized.
