      [PATCH] 2.5.14 IDE 55 · fb0bbfda
      Martin Dalecki authored
       - 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.

      [PATCH] 2.5.10 IDE 43 · 5ef2759c
      Martin Dalecki authored
      Some of the following is a bit of sensitive... but anyway it has to be done.
      
      - Scarp "portability" macros ide_request_irq() and ide_free_irq().  What a
         great of a surprise in the face of a kernel nowadays ported to nearly any
         major CPU out there, but apparently no platform needs something special here.
         All of them are just using the normal request_irq() and free_irq(). If some
         unusual platform (read obsolete door blocker) I have overlooked intentionally
         needs something special - please just hack the platform specific
         request_irq() and free_irq()-  they are *far off* from being performance
         relevant. (Hint: You could use cooked default irq values to detect there
         whatever the caller was the ATA driver to decide what to do about it.)
      
      - Kill ide_check_region() ide_request_region() and ide_release_region()
         altogether. Add comments explaining the code there.  Same arguments as above
         apply. Additionally we want to be able at some time to do for example mmapped
         PCI address space access on IA32 instead of port IO.
      
      - Rewrite the initialization code to don't use check_region at all. Add some
         comments there, which explain what's actually happening.
      
      - Fix creeping in of a c99 construct.
      
      - Make the main interrupt handler take a channel as data instead of the
         hwgroup. This is the entity an interrupt is physically associated with. PCI
         interrupt sharing is handled in a generically anyway. Analogously the main
         data entity of a device request queue (q->queuedata) is the device and not
         the hwgroup.  However right now we are only able to push it down to the
         channel level. The intention is to advance the choose_drive() function to
         just check for equal interrupt values for serialization of request and
         thus to get rid of the hwgroup altogether.
