This is a libata driver for the "macio" IDE controller used on most Apple
PowerMac and PowerBooks. It's a libata equivalent of drivers/ide/ppc/pmac.c

It supports all the features of its predecessor, including mediabay hotplug
and suspend/resume. It should also support module load/unload.

The timing calculations have been simplified to use pre-calculated tables
compared to drivers/ide/pmac.c and it uses the new mediabay interface
provided by a previous patch.

v2. Better tested now, seems to be reasonably solid.

Addressed Tejun comments and made remove more robust vs. media-bay,
should also fix Andreas problem.

Looks fine to me. Two minor comments, which might perhaps be ignored if that is your taste:

* prefer enums to #define's, for constants

* prefer direct function call to "ap->ops->foo_bar()", because ap->ops->foo_bar() is guaranteed to be a constant value known to the driver. The driver is the entity responsible for the function pointer.

Maybe saves a cycle or two. Not terribly important, but hey, calling ap->ops->sff_exec_command() from pata_macio_bmdma_setup() is a hot path.
