Okay, that makes sense: here's a patch which fixes the oops that way;
but it didn't work first time - see save_id! I'm not entirely happy
with the memsetting, as I comment in the patch, but I don't really
know what reuse these get: please check the decisions I made,
you may well want to change it around a bit.
[PATCH next] ide: fix PowerMac bootup oops
PowerMac bootup with CONFIG_IDE=y oopses in ide_pio_cycle_time():
because "ide: try to use PIO Mode 0 during probe if possible" causes
pmac_ide_set_pio_mode() to be called before drive->id has been set.
Bart points out other places which now need drive->id set earlier,
so follow his advice to allocate it in ide_port_alloc_devices()
(using kzalloc_node, without error message, as when allocating drive).
But memset id in probe_for_drive() when it might be being reused -
or would it be better to memset it wherever it used to be kfreed?
Fixed in passing: ide_host_alloc() was missing ide_port_free_devices()
from an error path.
