No just from personal experience what is set in bios is what the kernel
uses. If you have a problem with a udma value not working you have to
use the bios to change it. I can't speak for older computers without
udma settings in bios, I've just tried hdparm -d /dev/sr0 and I get
HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device but fortunately I
don't have a problem.
