If there is no PCI bus detected in drivers/ata/pata_legacy.c, it registers all
the common legacy PATA devices. This includes I/O ports (0x1f0, 0x170, 0x1e8,
0x168, 0x1e0, 0x160) and also their associated interrupts (14,15,11,10,8,12).
Unfortunately, on such systems those interrupt lines are at a premium because
there is no PCI alternative. This patch allows you to disable individual
port/interrupt pairs by providing a list of ports to skip allocating.
modprobe pata_legacy ignore_ports=0x1e8,0x168,0x1e0,0x160
