    [PATCH] 2.5.10 IDE 42 · 9dbf0015
    Martin Dalecki authored
    - Streamline the usage of sector_t over the strategy routines in question a
       bit. Streamline the do_request code in ide-disk.c.
    
    - Improve the readability of start_request in ide.c.
    
    - Remove obsolete/nowhere used stuff from hdreg.h.
    
    - Splitup special_t into classical flag field.
    
    - Use only a single field to determine the capacity of a drive.  Make this
       field and the code paths it follows as far as possible use the sector_t
       instead of a hard coded integer types.  This increases the chances that at
       some distant point in time we will indeed be able to use 64 bit wide sector_t
       entities. (Disks are getting huge those times now...)
