Now it should be finally fixed.
True story. Works here too.
Thanks for verifying it.

Hm, let's see whether there's time during the weekend. I already have something
stolen from pata_legacy but I'll do some more testing first. By the way, what
are the chances of exporting those pieces of code from drivers/ata/pata_legacy.c
and adding the function def into some header instead of duplicating the code into
ide_generic.c?
Good idea (<linux/ata.h> sounds like a perfect spot).
Hi Bart,

i finally found some time to work on the iobase-exclusion. Actually, i dropped
the original idea of reusing pata_legacy code without duplicating it since this
got the whole SATA pulled in in Kconfig, which, imo, outweighs the savings from
not duplicating one function. I ended up refitting the pata_legacy iobase checks
into ide-generic.
Why not try <linux/ata.h> + inline trick instead?

[ <linux/ata.h> is shared by both stacks so by moving the function there
  + making it inline it can also be shared without the need for dependency
  on libata. ]
As a result, i have now a new bool-Kconfig option BLK_DEV_GENERIC_ONLY which
gets reverse-selected only when no pci ide controller which is using the generic
ide_host_register() from within ide_pci_init_one() is selected in Kconfig. This
is tested both with and without a pci ide driver selected in addition to
ide-generic.
How's about just leaving the final decision up to the user with changing
probe_mask in ide_generic from 0x3 to 0x0 and automatically probing for
ports 0-1 iff there is no IDE PCI controller present (otherwise check
probe_mask).

This is should remove the need for Kconfig magic and is a sane default
since a lot of people get caught using ide_generic by mistake and not by
intent (IOW they forgot to enable the right IDE PCI host driver).

[ The small minority which may use it by intent (I don't see any practical
  reasons for doing it though) would still be able to override the default
  with ide_generic.probe_mask=0x3 kernel parameter. ]

Subject: [PATCH] ide-generic: skip automatic probing of legacy iobases

A number of pci ide controllers use legacy IO bases for their primary
and secondary ports. Skip probing those when both a specific host
driver _and_ ide-generic are enabled. The checking code originates from
drivers/ata/pata_legacy.c and is only reorganized into ide-generic.
