it restores hwif to previous state not the default one

ide settings are not limited to /proc, remember about ioctls

+/**

+ *
+ *	External version of the bus clock guess used by old old IDE drivers

old old?

+/**
+ *	ata_attach		-	attach an ATA/ATAPI device
+ *	@drive: drive to attach
+ *
+ *	Takes a drive that is as yet not assigned to any midlayer IDE
+ *	module and figures out which driver would like to own it. If

drive maybe assinged to midlayer ide-default driver

+ *	nobody claims the driver then it is automatically attached

the drive

+ *	@drive: drive to unplug
+ *
+ *	Disconnect a drive from the driver it was attached to and then
+ *	clean up the various proc files and other objects attached to it.
+ *	Takes ide_sem, ide_lock, and drive_lock. Caller must hold none of
+ *	the locks.
+ *
+ *	No locking versus subdriver unload because we are moving to the
+ *	default driver anyway. Wants double checking.

yep, locking needs checking  (removing hwif vs removing driver)

+/**
+ *	ide_register_driver	-	new driver loaded
+ *	@driver: the IDE driver module

driver doesn't have to be a module

IDE device driver

+/**
+ *	ide_unregister_driver	-	IDE module unload
+ *	@driver: IDE driver module
+ *
+ *	Unload a driver module and reattach any devices to whatever

it doesn't unload given IDE device driver
