    Perhaps we do need to touch IDE controllers on PPC? I don't have IDE
    devices connected to the IDE interface in my LongTrail, so I don't know.
    AFAIK the IDE interface does work without fiddling with the PCI resources
    on other LongTrails, but that could be caused by the different OF in those
    boxes (that different OF does assign other missing resources, unlike mine).
My experience is that we need to touch IDE cards without Open Firmware
ROM.  I currently have a card that needs this; I have a hideous local
hack in my kernel to enable it.
