 *  This was a rewrite of just about everything from hd.c, though some original
 *  code is still sprinkled about.  Think of it as a major evolution, with
 *  inspiration from lots of linux users, esp.  hamish@zot.apana.org.au
 *
 *  Version 1.0 ALPHA	initial code, primary i/f working okay
 *  Version 1.3 BETA	dual i/f on shared irq tested & working!
 *  Version 1.4 BETA	added auto probing for irq(s)
 *  Version 1.5 BETA	added ALPHA (untested) support for IDE cd-roms,
 *  ...
 * Version 5.50		allow values as small as 20 for idebus=
 * Version 5.51		force non io_32bit in drive_cmd_intr()
 *			change delay_10ms() to delay_50ms() to fix problems
 * Version 5.52		fix incorrect invalidation of removable devices
 *			add "hdx=slow" command line option
 * Version 5.60		start to modularize the driver; the disk and ATAPI
 *			 drivers can be compiled as loadable modules.
 *			move IDE probe code to ide-probe.c
 *			move IDE disk code to ide-disk.c
 *			add support for generic IDE device subdrivers
 *			add m68k code from Geert Uytterhoeven
 *			probe all interfaces by default
 *			add ioctl to (re)probe an interface
 * Version 6.00		use per device request queues
 *			attempt to optimize shared hwgroup performance
 *			add ioctl to manually adjust bandwidth algorithms
 *			add kerneld support for the probe module
 *			fix bug in ide_error()
 *			fix bug in the first ide_get_lock() call for Atari
 *			don't flush leftover data for ATAPI devices
 * Version 6.01		clear hwgroup->active while the hwgroup sleeps
 *			support HDIO_GETGEO for floppies
 * Version 6.02		fix ide_ack_intr() call
 *			check partition table on floppies
 * Version 6.03		handle bad status bit sequencing in ide_wait_stat()
 * Version 6.10		deleted old entries from this list of updates
 *			replaced triton.c with ide-dma.c generic PCI DMA
 *			added support for BIOS-enabled UltraDMA
 *			rename all "promise" things to "pdc4030"
 *			fix EZ-DRIVE handling on small disks
 * Version 6.11		fix probe error in ide_scan_devices()
 *			fix ancient "jiffies" polling bugs
 *			mask all hwgroup interrupts on each irq entry
 * Version 6.12		integrate ioctl and proc interfaces
 *			fix parsing of "idex=" command line parameter
 * Version 6.13		add support for ide4/ide5 courtesy rjones@orchestream.com

 *			Added hdx=flash to allow for second flash disk
 *			  detection w/o the hang loop.
 *			Added support for ide8/ide9
 *			Added idex=ata66 for the quirky chipsets that are
