nasty, this could possibly explain the following trm290.c hack:

Frankly speaking, I'm not sure it's that destructive: the register in question is accessed by inw()/outw() while the genric code would only "spoil" it by inb(). So, I don't know if this would be access to the same register as outw() does (that write starts DMA, and it is a number of 32-bit words in PRD table - 1). Actually, the PRD address is loaded by 32-bit write at address 2 bytes below the one in question, and so overlaps our register -- the chip must be looking at byte enables when deciding what register is addressed).

- get rid of the 'ide_' prefixes in several functions for which the prefix in
 the method's name has been 'ide_' ectomized already;

- align the code hooking the IDE DMA methods in init_hwif_trm290()...

Fixed the header, added 'static' to the new method definitions.
The patch is against Linus' kernel tree...
