- couple of fixes and preparatory patches

- rework of PowerMac media-bay support ([un]register IDE devices instead of
  [un]registering IDE interface) [ it is the main reason for spamming PPC ML ]

Interesting... I was thinking about doing a full remove of the device at
a higher level instead but I suppose what you propose is easier.

I'll have a look & test next week hopefully.

Also, the above would have the advantage of not relying on drivers/ide
infrastructure, and thus working with libata (once somebody has ported
pmac ide to libata).

Unfortunately you need a degree in dentistry to open a Macintosh up and
fix it otherwise we would have support by now.

Heh :-)

Recent powermacs are trivial to open ! But yeah, I do need to produce a
driver for libata one of these days. On my todo list ...

Cheers,
Ben.
