Well, I know but I have other cleanups incremental to this one. :-)

Ah ok - go for it.

It is also NOP for #ifdef CONFIG_PCI (that is the reason for this patch
BTW) since both ide_default_io_base() and ide_default_irq() are defined
as '0'.

Ok - I didn't look any deeper.

Hypothetically someone could add an IDE card
to a parisc EISA bus (eg 725), not define PCI, and then run the IDE
in PIO mode since DMA is still kaputt behind our EISA IOMMU.

That would require (at least) passing "ide=base[,ctl,[irq]]" kernel
parameter.

I was told offline my hypothetical example is in fact hypothetical.
parisc won't build with IDE unless PCI is defined. I haven't tried.

Ok, I will push this to Linus.

Thanks,
