2. "ioport" because shift^Wstride ;-) applies only to the io range
(yes, it's obvious, but worth open-wording, no?).

Contrarywise, to memory range.

By io range I meant "I/O base", in contrast to "CTL base".

There is no need to apply shifting for CTL. That's why ioport-*
appeared in the first place.

  So, a matter of wrong terminology then. The thing that you meant by 
  "I/O" is actually called "command block".

quoted

Yes. And IO is the second name.

    I'd say the first place in drivers/ide belongs to the historic name 
"taskfile". The "command block" which is as ATA standard calls it, is hardly used.

quoted

It's used widespread in the drivers/ide/.

    Don't remember seeing it.

Oops, thinko -- not drivers/ide/, but include/linux/ide.h.
Grep for io_addr.

Now you understand why I'm so reluctant to hanging up different
labels on the single thing? ;-)
