Yes, this can be merged together. Ronetix already did a SAM9263 board
and linux patch with "full" CF device.

There are some difference, but I think CF stuff can have one initialization
function. Could this be a separate patch in later date? I would like marge
at91_ide into mainline without changes if there will be no objections.
