The remaining problem for the pegasos 2 is with the via82cxxx ide
driver, which needs to support a different irq for both channels, thus
breakign when a device is present on the second ide channel. [snip]

My current idea is to add an extra flag to the ide_pci_device_t to
indicate that the device defaults to ports 14 and 15, then modify
ide_hwif_configure() to use this flag.

Ok, sounds nice, do you plan to write this patch anytime soon, or should
i go forward and implement this idea ?

I've got a few other things to get into the kernel before this, so
please don't wait for me. If you make a patch I'll test it.

In my case, the initial setup is that the device has been assigned I/O
space address in the 0xfe00 range, and no PCI IRQ.  This confuses the
PCI IDE code, because it assumes that the device must be an add-in card
if it is not on the legacy ports.
