Yeah I also removed ide-scsi interface from the -ac patches in 2.4 8)

I also have the it8212 working in smart but non raid now. Seems issuing an
LBA 48 cache flush (0xEF) crashes the firmware which is why it died on load
for some users.  To do that I've added hwif->raw_taskfile() so that an
interface can filter commands.

Ouch, they should really fix this in the firmware.

Agreed. I need to verify its not our fault yet. Either way it'll need to
stay there because most people have older firmware. One thing I need to
look at is how to find firmware versions as it seems 1.2 doesnt do LBA48
