    [PATCH] 2.5.6-pre2 IDE cleanup 16 · 24ae9cff

    There is no such a thing like a ide-clean-15. Never was.  But here comes
    what has been done in ide-clean-16:
    
    - Apply a patch for the initialization of the second PIIX channel.
       Found by Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@transmeta.com>
    
    - Apply a patch for the DMA initialization of the serverworks chip.
       Ken Brownfield <brownfld@irridia.com>
    
    - Make the ata_operations methods immune against device type drivers,
       which donot provide them by separating the access to them out. Audit
       them all.
    
    - Resynchronize with 2.5.6-pre1.
    
    - Remove unused IDE_DRIVE_CMD, IDE_DRIVE_TASK, IDE_DRIVE_TASK_MASK,
       IDE_DRIVE_TASKFILE macros.
    
    - Disable configuration of the task file stuff. It is going to go away
       and will be replaced by a truly abstract interface based on
       functionality and *not* direct mess-up of hardware.
    
    - Resync with 2.5.6-pre2.
    
    - Add HPT entries to the fall-back list, since otherwise the driver
       won'trecognize the drives. We will have to make this the default
       behavior for allnot recognized host chip types.
    
    - Fix compilation with no PCI host chip support enabled.
    
    - Apply the overflow fixes for HPT366 by Vojtech Pavlik.
    
    - Kill the one-shoot functions ide_wait_cmd_taks() ide_wait_cmd() by
       moving them to the places where they are actually used. Fix a
       potential buffer overflow on the way.
    
    - Fix usage of ide.c as module. Thanks to Adam J. Richter for figuring
       out what was wrong.
    
    - Various cleanups all along as well as removal of TONS of
       unfinished/dead code.
    
    I think it's sometimes better to remove stuff, which isn't there,
    instead of hoping for a "magical day" where it will be finished.
