[PATCH] 2.5.6-pre2 IDE cleanup 16
There is no such a thing like a ide-clean-15. Never was. But here comes what has been done in ide-clean-16: - Apply a patch for the initialization of the second PIIX channel. Found by Daniel Quinlan <quinlan@transmeta.com> - Apply a patch for the DMA initialization of the serverworks chip. Ken Brownfield <brownfld@irridia.com> - Make the ata_operations methods immune against device type drivers, which donot provide them by separating the access to them out. Audit them all. - Resynchronize with 2.5.6-pre1. - Remove unused IDE_DRIVE_CMD, IDE_DRIVE_TASK, IDE_DRIVE_TASK_MASK, IDE_DRIVE_TASKFILE macros. - Disable configuration of the task file stuff. It is going to go away and will be replaced by a truly abstract interface based on functionality and *not* direct mess-up of hardware. - Resync with 2.5.6-pre2. - Add HPT entries to the fall-back list, since otherwise the driver won'trecognize the drives. We will have to make this the default behavior for allnot recognized host chip types. - Fix compilation with no PCI host chip support enabled. - Apply the overflow fixes for HPT366 by Vojtech Pavlik. - Kill the one-shoot functions ide_wait_cmd_taks() ide_wait_cmd() by moving them to the places where they are actually used. Fix a potential buffer overflow on the way. - Fix usage of ide.c as module. Thanks to Adam J. Richter for figuring out what was wrong. - Various cleanups all along as well as removal of TONS of unfinished/dead code. I think it's sometimes better to remove stuff, which isn't there, instead of hoping for a "magical day" where it will be finished.
