Umm...  I don't have an IDE alpha box in a usable shape (fans on
CPU module shat themselves), and it would take a while to resurrect
it, but I remember the joy it used to cause in some versions.

Do you have reports of libata variants of drivers actually tested on
those?
No, I haven't.  The whole point is that we're not going to keep 40000
lines of code around despite notice for users that don't exist or
care.  If there is a regression we'll fix it, but we're not going to
make life miserable just because we can.
The pata_ali driver works fine on my UP1500 machine, unless something
broke recently.  I'll build the latest kernel and report back.
5.11.7 seems fine too.
