      ide: remove broken disk byte-swapping support · 9e47be0c
      由 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于 
      Remove broken disk byte-swapping support:
- it can cause a data corruption on SMP (or if using PREEMPT on UP)
- all data coming from disk are byte-swapped by taskfile_*_data() which
  results in incorrect identify data being reported by /proc/ide/ and IOCTLs
- "hdx=bswap/byteswap" kernel parameter has been broken on m68k host drivers
  (including Atari/Q40 ones) since 2.5.x days (because of 'hwif' zero-ing)
- byte-swapping is limited to PIO transfers (for working with TiVo disks on
  x86 machines using user-space solutions or dm-byteswap should result in
  much better performance because DMA can be used)

[ I have dm-byteswap device mapper target if somebody is interested
  (patch is for 2.6.4 though but I'll dust it off if needed). ]

      ide: make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular (take 2) · ade2daf9
      由 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于 
      * Make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular, add ide-scan-pci.c
  file for probing PCI host drivers registered with IDE core (special case
  for built-in IDE and CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER=y) and then take care of
  the ordering in which all IDE host drivers are probed when IDE is built-in
  during link time.

* Move probing of gayle, falconide, macide, q40ide and buddha (m68k arch
  specific) host drivers, before PCI ones (no PCI on m68k), ide-cris (cris
  arch specific), cmd640 (x86 arch specific) and pmac (ppc arch specific).

* Move probing of ide-cris (cris arch specific) host driver before cmd640
  (x86 arch specific).

* Move probing of mpc8xx (ppc specific) host driver before ide-pnp (depends
  on ISA and none of ppc platform that use mpc8xx supports ISA) and ide-h8300
  (h8300 arch specific).

* Add "probe_vlb" kernel parameter to cmd640 host driver and update
  Documentation/ide.txt accordingly.

* Make IDE_ARM config option visible so it can also be disabled if needed.

* Remove bogus comment from ide.c while at it.

v2:
* Fix two issues spotted by Sergei:
  - replace ENOMEM error value by ENOENT in ide-h8300 host driver
  - fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() in cmd640 host driver
