/*
* ide_setup() gets called VERY EARLY during initialization,
* to handle kernel "command line" strings beginning with "hdx="
* or "ide". Here is the complete set currently supported:
* to handle kernel "command line" strings beginning with "hdx=" or "ide".
*
* "hdx=" is recognized for all "x" from "a" to "h", such as "hdc".
* "idex=" is recognized for all "x" from "0" to "3", such as "ide1".
*
* "hdx=noprobe" : drive may be present, but do not probe for it
* "hdx=none" : drive is NOT present, ignore cmos and do not probe
* "hdx=nowerr" : ignore the WRERR_STAT bit on this drive
* "hdx=cdrom" : drive is present, and is a cdrom drive
* "hdx=cyl,head,sect" : disk drive is present, with specified geometry
* "hdx=remap63" : add 63 to all sector numbers (for OnTrack DM)
* "hdx=remap" : remap 0->1 (for EZDrive)
* "hdx=autotune" : driver will attempt to tune interface speed
* to the fastest PIO mode supported,
* if possible for this drive only.
* Not fully supported by all chipset types,
* and quite likely to cause trouble with
* older/odd IDE drives.
* "hdx=swapdata" : when the drive is a disk, byte swap all data
* "hdx=bswap" : same as above..........
* "hdxlun=xx" : set the drive last logical unit.
* "hdx=scsi" : the return of the ide-scsi flag, this is useful for
* allowing ide-floppy, ide-tape, and ide-cdrom|writers
* to use ide-scsi emulation on a device specific option.
* "idebus=xx" : inform IDE driver of VESA/PCI bus speed in MHz,
* where "xx" is between 20 and 66 inclusive,
* used when tuning chipset PIO modes.
* For PCI bus, 25 is correct for a P75 system,
* 30 is correct for P90,P120,P180 systems,
* and 33 is used for P100,P133,P166 systems.
* If in doubt, use idebus=33 for PCI.
* As for VLB, it is safest to not specify it.
*
* "idex=noprobe" : do not attempt to access/use this interface
* "idex=base" : probe for an interface at the addr specified,
* where "base" is usually 0x1f0 or 0x170
* and "ctl" is assumed to be "base"+0x206
* "idex=base,ctl" : specify both base and ctl
* "idex=base,ctl,irq" : specify base, ctl, and irq number
* "idex=autotune" : driver will attempt to tune interface speed
* to the fastest PIO mode supported,
* for all drives on this interface.
* Not fully supported by all chipset types,
* and quite likely to cause trouble with
* older/odd IDE drives.
* "idex=noautotune" : driver will NOT attempt to tune interface speed
* This is the default for most chipsets,
* except the cmd640.
* "idex=serialize" : do not overlap operations on idex and ide(x^1)
* "idex=four" : four drives on idex and ide(x^1) share same ports
* "idex=reset" : reset interface before first use
* "idex=dma" : enable DMA by default on both drives if possible
* "idex=ata66" : informs the interface that it has an 80c cable
* for chipsets that are ATA-66 capable, but
* the ablity to bit test for detection is
* currently unknown.
* "ide=reverse" : Formerly called to pci sub-system, but now local.
*
* The following are valid ONLY on ide0, (except dc4030)
* and the defaults for the base,ctl ports must not be altered.
*
* "ide0=dtc2278" : probe/support DTC2278 interface
* "ide0=ht6560b" : probe/support HT6560B interface
* "ide0=cmd640_vlb" : *REQUIRED* for VLB cards with the CMD640 chip
* (not for PCI -- automatically detected)
* "ide0=qd65xx" : probe/support qd65xx interface
* "ide0=ali14xx" : probe/support ali14xx chipsets (ALI M1439, M1443, M1445)
* "ide0=umc8672" : probe/support umc8672 chipsets
* "idex=dc4030" : probe/support Promise DC4030VL interface
* "ide=doubler" : probe/support IDE doublers on Amiga
* Remember to update Documentation/ide.txt if you change something here.
