    [PATCH] 2.5.10 IDE 44 · 045c90fe
    Martin Dalecki authored
    Reduce the "rain forest" of pointers a bit.
    
    - Use the channel info from the drive instead of from hwgroup where possible.
       Since we have now a direct association between a channel and irq, we can fix
       the handler for unexpected interrupts to don't have to iterate over multiple
       possibilities.
    
    - Finally it was just possible to remove the circular list of channels
       associated with a hwif. The hwif member of struct hwgroup_s as well as
       next member if struct ata_channel are gone.
    
    - Unify ide_build_sglist() and raw_build_sglist() in to one function.  Use the
       queue associated with a request in the case of a CMD request there instead of
       referencing the device minor number. This will be pushed even further later.
