Currently, we can use the piix ide driver for Intel ICH5 IDE controllers, or use ata_piix (libata) by #defining ATA_ENABLE_PATA manually at inclulde/linux/libata.h. Why not have a CONFIG option to enable libata for such drivers instead of a #define in the code? I was wondering if there is any reason it is done this way.
ATA_ENABLE_PATA is there because PATA was highly experimental for a while, and only developers and power users should be enabling it.
