This patch initializes the PIIX3 IDE controllers IDE channels as enabled.
They were previously unconfigured by QEMU.
IDE devices have been broken on our local lab systems since the introduction of
QEMU 0.9.0 (KVM-14). Tracing the Linux driver for PIIX3 initialization
revealed that the "enabled" bits (bit 7 in the PCI-CONFIG space at address 0x41
and 0x43, port 0 and 1 respectively) were not set. In a bare-metal system, it
would typically be the role of the BIOS to enable something like this, so this
solution may be a hack. I speculate that the real bug may be something
introduced into Bochs about the same time as the 0.9.0 deployment, but I have
not investigated this. Nonetheless, unless there is a specific run-time switch
to enable/disable the IDE channels, initializing them in QEMU vs Bochs is
probably 6 of one, half dozen of the other.
