Hello.

patch 2/2:
  Do the dma status clearing in ide_intr() and add a new hwif->ide_dma_clear_irq such that LLDD could override it.

Tested ok on ICH4 and pdc20275. Not sure if this would have bad effect for other adapters.

Patch against 2.6.20-rc5, for your review, thanks.

   Why? Do you check the result?

hwif->dma_status should always be set, else ide-dma.c just won't work. The check seems superfluous.

+		dma_stat = hwif->INB(hwif->dma_status);
+		/* Should we force the bit as well ? */

   Good idea.

+		hwif->OUTB(dma_stat, hwif->dma_status);

I'm afraid this would break __ide_dma_end() function which tests the error conditions and returns failure if (dma_stat & 7) != 4...

   Either "being lost" or "loss". Sorry for grammar nitpicking. :-)

Ah, you're only calling this when hwif->dma == 0... Well, that's probably fine. Although, once introduced, this method asks for more use...

 	if (drive->unmask)
