It seems that on some nVidia controllers using AltStatus register can be unreliable so default to Status register if the PCI device is in Compatibility Mode. In order to achieve this: * Add ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() inline helper to <linux/ide.h>. * Add IDE_HFLAG_BROKEN_ALTSTATUS host flag and set it in amd74xx host driver for nVidia controllers in Compatibility Mode. * Teach actual_try_to_identify() and drive_is_ready() about the new flag. This fixes the regression caused by removal of CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ config option in 2.6.25 and using AltStatus register unconditionally when available (kernel.org bugs #11659 and #10216). [ Moreover for CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y (which is what most people and distributions use) it never worked correctly. ] Thanks to Remy LABENE and Lars Winterfeld for help with debugging the problem.
