what if ata_piix is already compiled in or already loaded but ahci is
not for an ich6 controller? We have priorities in the drivers, if the
user/admin wants to use the lower priority ones that much, he/she

anyway.
The PIIX4 in the IBM docking stations is hot plug - and its why I also
have to check 0x40 and write it if zero. So the case exists.
I see. Most of the problems are solved by driver priority but yeah
that's an actual corner case. Driver priority doesn't work unless all
the matching drivers are loaded by the time driver matching starts, so
the same problem could happen with pata_acpi depending on probe order
during normal boot, so pata_acpi should be blacklisted by default.
It seems priority thing can't handle this at all. So, to the original
patch,

Cool, though still waiting on resend to fix problems mentioned earlier
in the thread, notably s/&&/&/
Or if Alan wants to sign-off on my doing that correction myself, since a
resend hasn't appeared?
