Hi Bart, here's the first batch of conversion patches. Now ide_issue_pc/ide_transfer_pc are almost completely aligned to their ide-cd counterparts cdrom_start_packet_command/cdrom_transfer_packet_command. The only thing missing is the setting of the irq handler through ide_set_handler but this is not that trivial since if i'd moved ide-cd's irq handler to ide-atapi that would suck in a bunch of other ide-cd functions which is not what we want, (yes/no)? and I'm going to have to ponder a little bit more on that. Those have been lightly tested with ide-cd and ide-floppy. drivers/ide/ide-atapi.c | 115 ++++++++++++++++---------------------------- drivers/ide/ide-cd.c | 121 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ drivers/ide/ide-floppy.c | 2 +- drivers/ide/ide-tape.c | 2 +- include/linux/ide.h | 2 +- 5 files changed, 117 insertions(+), 125 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
