Hello, B. Zolnierkiewicz.

 These patches are various fixes/improvements to the ide driver.  They
are against the 2.6 bk tree as of today (20050202).

01_ide_remove_adma100.patch

        Removes drivers/ide/pci/adma100.[hc].  The driver isn't
        compilable (missing functions) and no Kconfig actually enables
        CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA100.

02_ide_cleanup_it8172.patch

        In drivers/ide/pci/it8172.h, it8172_ratefilter() and
        init_setup_it8172() are declared and the latter is referenced
        in it8172_chipsets.  Both functions are not defined or used
        anywhere.  This patch removes the prototypes and reference.
        it8172 should be compilable now.

03_ide_cleanup_opti621.patch

        In drivers/ide/pci/opti612.[hc], init_setup_opt621() is
        declared, defined and referenced but never actullay used.
        Thie patch removes the function.

04_ide_cleanup_piix.patch

        In drivers/ide/pci/piix.[hc], init_setup_piix() is defined and
        used but only one init_setup function is defined and no
        demultiplexing is done using init_setup callback.  As other
        drivers call ide_setup_pci_device() directly in such cases,
        this patch removes init_setup_piix() and makes piix_init_one()
        call ide_setup_pci_device() directly.

05_ide_merge_pci_driver_hc.patch

        Merges drivers/ide/pci/*.h files into their corresponding *.c
        files.  Rationales are
        1. There's no reason to separate pci drivers into header and
           body.  No header file is shared and they're simple enough.
        2. struct pde_pci_device_t *_chipsets[] are _defined_ in the
           header files.  That isn't the custom and there's no good
           reason to do differently in these drivers.
        3. Tracking changelogs shows that the bugs fixed by 00 and 01
           are introduced during mass-updating ide pci drivers by
           forgetting to update *.h files.

06_ide_start_request_IDE_CONTROL_REG.patch

        Replaced HWIF(drive)->io_ports[IDE_CONTROL_OFFSET] with
        equivalent IDE_CONTROL_REG in ide-io.c.

07_ide_reg_valid_t_endian_fix.patch

        ide_reg_valid_t contains bitfield flags but doesn't reverse
        bit orders using __*_ENDIAN_BITFIELD macros.  And constants
        for ide_reg_valid_t, IDE_{TASKFILE|HOB}_STD_{IN|OUT}_FLAGS,
        are defined as byte values which are correct only on
        little-endian machines.  This patch defines reversed constants
        and .h byte union structure to make things correct on big
        endian machines.  The only code which uses above macros is in
        flagged_taskfile() and the code is currently unused, so this
        patch doesn't change any behavior.  (The code will get used in
        later patches.)

08_ide_do_identify_model_string_termination.patch

        Terminates id->model string before invoking strstr() in
        do_identify().

09_ide_do_rw_disk_lba48_dma_check_fix.patch

        In __ide_do_rw_disk(), the shifted block, instead of the
        original rq->sector, should be used when checking range for
        lba48 dma.

10_ide_do_rw_disk_pre_task_out_intr_return_fix.patch

        In __ide_do_rw_disk(), ide_started used to be returned blindly
        after issusing PIO write.  This can cause hang if
        pre_task_out_intr() returns ide_stopped due to failed
        ide_wait_stat() test.  Fixed to pass the return value of
        pre_task_out_intr().

11_ide_drive_sleeping_fix.patch

        ide_drive_t.sleeping field added.  0 in sleep field used to
        indicate inactive sleeping but because 0 is a valid jiffy
        value, though slim, there's a chance that something can go
        weird.  And while at it, explicit jiffy comparisons are
        converted to use time_{after|before} macros.

12_ide_hwgroup_t_polling.patch

        ide_hwgroup_t.polling field added.  0 in poll_timeout field
        used to indicate inactive polling but because 0 is a valid
        jiffy value, though slim, there's a chance that something
        weird can happen.

13_ide_tape_time_after.patch

        Explicit jiffy comparision converted to time_after() macro.

14_ide_error_remove_NULL_test.patch

        In ide_error(), drive cannot be NULL.  ide_dump_status() can't
        handle NULL drive.

15_ide_flagged_taskfile_data_byte_order_fix.patch

        In flagged_taskfile(), when writing data register,
        taskfile->data goes to the lower byte and hobfile->data goes
        to the upper byte on little endian machines and the opposite
        happens on big endian machines.  This patch make
        taskfile->data always go to the lower byte regardless of
        endianess.

16_ide_flagged_taskfile_select_dev_bit_masking.patch

        In flagged_taskfile(), make off DEV bit before OR'ing it with
        drive->select.all when writing to IDE_SELECT_REG.

17_ide_flagged_taskfile_select_check.patch

        In flagged_taskfile(), tf_out_flags.b.select should be checked
        before using bits inside taskfile->device_head.  When user
        haven't specified the select register, the default
        drive->select.all value should be used.

18_ide_comment_fixes.patch

        Comment fixes.

19_ide_diag_taskfile_use_init_drive_cmd.patch

        In ide_diag_taskfile(), when initializing taskfile rq,
        ref_count wasn't initialized properly.  Modified to use
        ide_init_drive_cmd().  This doesn't really change any behavior
        as the request isn't managed via the block layer.

20_ide_task_end_request_fix.patch

        task_end_request() modified and made global.  ide_dma_intr()
        modified to use task_end_request().  These changes enable
        TASKFILE ioctls to get valid register outputs on successful
        completion.  No in-kernel usage should be affected.

21_ide_do_taskfile.patch

        Merged do_rw_taskfile() and flagged_taskfile() into
        do_taskfile().  During the merge, the following changes took
        place.
        1. flagged taskfile now honors HOB feature register.
           (do_rw_taskfile() did write to HOB feature.)
        2. No do_rw_taskfile() HIHI check on select register.  Except
           for the DEV bit, all bits are honored.
        3. Uses taskfile->data_phase to determine if dma trasfer is
           requested.  (do_rw_taskfile() directly switched on
           taskfile->command for all dma commands)

22_ide_taskfile_flush.patch

        All REQ_DRIVE_TASK users except ide_task_ioctl() converted
        to use REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE.
        1. idedisk_issue_flush() converted to use REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE.
           This and the changes in ide_get_error_location() remove a
           possible race condition between ide_get_error_location()
           and other requests.
        2. ide_queue_flush_cmd() converted to use REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE.

23_ide_taskfile_task_ioctl.patch

        ide_task_ioctl() modified to map to ide_taskfile_ioctl().
        This is the last user of REQ_DRIVE_TASK.

24_ide_remove_task.patch

        Unused REQ_DRIVE_TASK handling removed.

25_ide_taskfile_cmd.patch

        All in-kernel REQ_DRIVE_CMD users except for ide_cmd_ioctl()
        converted to use REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE.

26_ide_taskfile_cmd_ioctl.patch

        ide_cmd_ioctl() converted to use ide_taskfile_ioctl().  This
        is the last user of REQ_DRIVE_CMD.

27_ide_remove_cmd.patch

        Removed unused REQ_DRIVE_CMD handling.

28_ide_taskfile_init_drive_cmd.patch

        ide_init_drive_cmd() now initializes rq->flags to
        REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE.

29_ide_explicit_TASKFILE_NO_DATA.patch

        Make data_phase explicit in NO_DATA cases.

 Thanks.
