2. "ioport" because shift^Wstride ;-) applies only to the io range (yes, it's obvious, but worth open-wording, no?).
Contrarywise, to memory range.
By io range I meant "I/O base", in contrast to "CTL base".
There is no need to apply shifting for CTL. That's why ioport-* appeared in the first place.
So, a matter of wrong terminology then. The thing that you meant by "I/O" is actually called "command block".
Yes. And IO is the second name.
I'd say the first place in drivers/ide belongs to the historic name "taskfile". The "command block" which is as ATA standard calls it, is hardly used.
It's used widespread in the drivers/ide/.
Don't remember seeing it.
Now you understand why I'm so reluctant to hanging up different labels on the single thing? ;-)
