hrm, some of this is already in #upstream (and thus -mm, though maybe akpm has not yet regenerated his stuff).

patch(1) seems to think I already have this stuff, and indeed the most recent changesets in pata_legacy are

    pata_legacy: Merge winbond support

This puts winbond VLB in with the other ISA/VLB support and means we can lose pata_winbond.c. With all the VLB/ISA probe in one space (and out of
    the core libata) this makes legacy probing work sanely.

    Also switch to devm_ for resource handling on the ports post probe

    pata_legacy: resychronize with upstream changes and resubmit

    Update the legacy driver so it can handle VLB ports nicely, and has an
internal structure for nailing new ISA/VLB forms in. Anyone got an ALI14xx
    and a spare day ;)

Also adds an "all" parameter so you can load this driver after all the PCI ones in a boot time kernel and tell it to grab anything ST412 compatible even if it is an unknown PCI device. That allows libata to offer the same
    "just get me a disk somehow" fallback that old IDE did.

    Obsoletes pata_qdi.
