    MIPS: malta_kvm_guest_defconfig: Convert to use libata PATA drivers · 5f6df05b
    Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz authored
    IDE subsystem has been deprecated since 2009 and the majority
    (if not all) of Linux distributions have switched to use
    libata for ATA support exclusively.  However there are still
    some users (mostly old or/and embedded non-x86 systems) that
    have not converted from using IDE subsystem to libata PATA
    drivers.  This doesn't seem to be good thing in the long-term
    for Linux as while there is less and less PATA systems left
    in use:
    
    * testing efforts are divided between two subsystems
    
    * having duplicate drivers for same hardware confuses users
    
    This patch converts malta_kvm_guest_defconfig to use libata
    PATA drivers (tc86c001 IDE host driver has no corresponding
    libata driver yet so it is not converted).
