Re: adding Pegasus IDE quirk for pata_via

Okay. I'll clean this up and submit a real patch to the Linux IDE mailing list (no point for
PowerPC guys to get any more of these since it is very generic Via IDE stuff now)

Again some comments would be appreciated from anyone who has a better idea on how this controller
works. This simple code addition came out of 2 or 3 days of discussion with the Pegasos designer
based on his experiences with the chip and is so simple there cannot be much wrong with it
apart from coding style and a distinct lack of testing.

Seems sane to me - as you said the x86 world relies on the BIOS for this
and in fact pretty much never uses native mode anyway.

Patch looks fine except pci_find_device is obsolete, please use
pci_get_device and refcount safe APIs.
