Hi Jens,

the paride driver has been unmaintained for a while and is a significant
maintainance burden, including the fact that it is one of the last
users of the block layer bounce buffering code.  This patch suggest
to remove it assuming no users complain loduly.

Ondrej: you're the last known users, so please speak up if you still
have a use case!

Looks like I really need to do the libata conversion.

That would indeed be great! As mentioned in my reply, I don't want to
remove drivers that are actively being used. Is the libata conversion
something you are going to do, or is it more of a dream at this point?
Ideally we get that done first, and then remove paride.
