There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.
Good. I think it's worth implementing this method in at least
cmd64x.c which actually reads the IDE interrupt latch bits
(independent from the DMA interrupt status) in the dma_test_irq()
methods but never clears them, so the latches may reflect a
non-current state of the IDE interrupt...
I forgot that it does clear them in its dma_end() methods (which I
myself have reworked :-).
It seems however that at least for SFF-8038 compatibles, it makes
sense to leave it that way since INTRQ might be asserted while BMIDE
interrupt bit is not, so the interrupt latch would need clearing even on
DMA timeout...
It may also be worth considering turning this method into
test-and-clear, so that we can get the actual IDE interrupt state on
the chips that implement this...
Probably might add the test_irq() method to be called on
!hwif->waiting_for_dma. Cleraing the status at once seems impractical...

Not feeling sure about this patch -- ->waiting_for_dma probably
should've been left where it was...
