    [PATCH] 2.5.21 IDE 87 · d861eb67
    Martin Dalecki authored
     - Sync with 2.5.21
    
     - Don't call put_device inside idedisk_cleanup(). This is apparently triggering
       some bug inside the handling of device trees. Or we don't register the device
       properly within the tree. Check this later.
    
     - Further work on the channel register file access locking.  Push the locking
       out from __ide_end_request to ide_end_request.  Rename those functions to
       respective __ata_end_request() and ata_end_request().
    
     - Move ide_wait_status to device.c rename it to ata_status_poll().
    
     - Further work on locking scope issues.
    
     - devfs showed us once again that it changed the policy from agnostic numbers
       to unpleasant string names.
