As suggested by Geert, at least one of the drivers available for the Falcon IDE interface should be converted to a platform device driver (to enable module autoloading by the Debian installer). Add platform device for Falcon IDE (patch 1), and rewrite the present libata driver to make use of that device (patch 2). Incorporated review comments by Geert, and fixed mismatch between platform resource and platform driver name that prevented the earlier version from loading as builtin driver. Tested on ARAnyM with only the pata_falcon driver builtin. Cheers, Michael
