We implemented the PIIX IDE controller as part of the Intel Southbridge 82371AB which is part of the South bridge and a *onboard* chip. This chip has only two IDE channels AFAIK. The best thing would be if there is a PCI card or another chipset which has a PIIX IDE controller with more channels. Otherwise I look for another easy to implement IDE Bus Master capable chip with 2 channels which I can implement as PCI Card to use more of the card to get more DMA capable IDE channels in the virtual machine.
