Subject: [PATCH] ide-generic: handle probing of legacy io-ports v4

Avoid probing the io-ports in case an IDE PCI controller is present and it uses
the legacy iobases. If we still want to enforce the probing, we do

ide_generic.probe_mask=0x3f

on the kernel command line. The iobase checking code is adapted from
drivers/ata/pata_legacy.c after converting hex pci ids into their
corresponding
macros in <linux/pci_ids.h>.

Would have been probably enough to test only BAR0/2, don't you think?

I assume you're referring to the legacy ioports fixup in
drivers/pci/probe.c:pci_setup_device().

And to the fact that the value 0x1f0 should only be ever seen in BAR0 and 0x170 in BAR2 even if they would have been read off the chips (some chips have these values reading back even in legacy mode, and even could malfunction if other values are written there), not fixed up there, and certainly not in BAR1 or BAR3, so it's quite pointless to look in these BARs too.

WBR, Sergei
