But we do that for some controllers anyway so it's not something new. ata_piix already has list of all the devices it supports, so maybe it's safe to grab all intel IDE devices from ata_generic? ata_piix always has higher priority than ata_generic anyway and if a device isn't grabbed by ata_piix, we don't lose anything by grabbing it from ata_generic. > Is it documented ?
