Outside of the patch series in question, how to we expedite the
euthanasia of IDE? What explicit features/support are we missing through
libata that would need to be added, before we can git rm drivers/ide/ ?
There is only a single driver (sgi_ide) which hasn't been moved over to
libata.
Huh? What about Toshiba TC86C001 and TX4938/9, TI DaVinci? That's off the
top of my head only...
But this is for an old Itanium-based server only, and even SGI didn't
press us to have this ported.
(And we have disabled the IDE drivers since SLES11, where we still support
Itanium.)
Or do you mean only the drivers SuSe is interested in?
