Betreff: Re: [PATCH 5/5] ide: Force VIA IDE legacy interrupts for AmigaOne boards

checking if IDE_HFLAG_FORCE_LEGACY_IRQS should be set.

Wouldn't it be better, if I clean this up now? (I have to resend my
AmigaOne platform patches anyway).

Replacement patch instead of incremental one is also fine with me -- given
that it can wait for 2.6.30.

Yes, it can wait.
Although I would like to know from the powerpc maintainer, if my platform
patches could still go in 2.6.29, if I resend them in the next days? I guess it's
too late, right?

Okay, so the change shouldn't break IDE for Pegasos machines (I don't
have a Pegasos for testing).

Yes but there may be some other platforms (not necessarily powerpc ones)
that may be affected (i.e. they can depend indirectly on IRQ auto-probing
during IDE probe) so cleanup patch needs to spend some time in linux-next.

I think the VIA libata driver simply checks the progif register, too. I guess you
don't like the idea of a "#ifdef PPC32" or so around the
ide_pci_is_in_compatibility_mode() check?

Thanks!

Gerhard
