[PATCH] 2.5.14 IDE 55
- Update HPT374 driver carried over from 2.4.xx series by Andrew Morton. Resync it with the recent host chip driver changes, or better the introduction of an API at all. - Consolidate the handling of device ID byte order in one place. This was spotted and patched by Bartomiej onierkiewicz. - Eliminate CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI - it's duplicating the functionality of the already present and fine CONFIG_PCI flag and if we are a PCI host, we are indeed very likely to need host chip support anyway. - Remove some redundant info about the model and channel number from /proc/ide. Remove the binary entries not helpful to the user, and not used by any program and redundant to corresponding ioctls. - Properly return udma_read and udma_write values in taskfile. - Only initialize XXX_udma to the default handlers if it has not been initialized by the host chip initialization. I have enabled spin lock debugging and can see that on device flush the spin locks get wrong counts... no problems elsewher ethus far. I will re check them next time around.
