This fact was already catered for with the definition of outb/inb and
friends, which get an offset added to the port. Unfortunately, the
PowerMac IDE code undoes this and replaces it with a different
mechanism, which in essence removes the offset. Grrr..

I've solved the problem by adding the right offset directly to the
io-port values as found in the kernel's PCI structures. I think this
needs more serious rework, though. Paul, are you the author of the
PowerMac IDE stuff? So we can work this out... 

Would this be one of the things solved/cleaned up by seperating ide-pmac.c
and the CONFIG option for it into generic enable IDE stuff and a driver
for the builtin IDE on some machines?  Last I tried, I needed to enable
both cmd646 and ide-pmac on myy blue&white (trying to do this is on my
todo list, someplace.. :))

Yes, it would.  PMAC IDE is currently all mixed in the one option.
