I've got a rather old x86 box that I'm booting 2.6.21.1 on;
this kernel is not finding an ide controller on it.

The motherboard has 4 ide controllers total; two olde-fashioned
ones (PIIX4, using the original 40-pin IDE ribbon cable) and two

   You should have said "channels". PIIX4 has only one IDE controller.

"HighPoint HPT366" controllers, taking the 80-pin cable.
BIOS allows the two olde-fashioned channels to be enabled
or disabled; but the HPT seems to alaways be on (I could not
find any BIOS entry to play with them.)

A bit of debugging localized the symptoms to drivers/ide/setup-pci.c
It seems that there was some recent ide-pci fix that changed/fixed
the way that pci config space is read' this "fix" breaks my recognition
of my controller.

Actually, it was a bug that I've introduced into drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c -- the patch has been already merged into 2.6.22-rc1:
