This series avoids/limits disabling of interrupts in drivers/ide. This is from the -RT queue where it was reported initially (ata was not widespread back then) and it hurts -RT. While looking at alim15x3, there are some drivers which exist in both worlds (alim15x3 included was far as I can tell). Is there a reason why we still keep two drivers around for the same hardware? I know on mips bigsur and swarm select IDE in their defconfig. I fixed (ages ago) ide for swarm while I was using ata myself. So *I* think this just a relict. If Ralf's bigsur is still alive, it is using SATA and not the onboard IDE.
