Interesting, we have been steadily adding new hardware support (there is another driver for embedded hardware pending inclusion).. If you wanted to run IDE-stale tree I would have been more than happy to help you with it by cc:ing you on bugfix patches. > So this totally eliminates any argument you may have about necessary > "infrastructure" changes that might be blocked by not being able to > make these kinds modifications to drivers for devices you can't even > test. I'm really tired of this kind of hostility towards IDE changes and I also don't have time for such unproductive discussions. Lets get over this quickly, since you seem to have such a great insight into running IDE layer here is a little proposition.. ACK?
