As I said earlier ide_mm_inb etc via the function pointers tf_inb/tf_outb etc. Given how small those functions are it might even be worth rolling them into two different versions of the functions like ide_tf_read as surely it costs more to call them (in size) than to inline the two for those functions? -- 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
