Some users of pata_falcon on Q40 have IDE disks in default
IDE little endian byte order, whereas legacy disks use
host-native big-endian byte order as on the Atari Falcon.

Add module parameter 'data_swab' to allow connecting drives
with non-native data byte order. Drives selected by the
data_swap bit mask will have their user data byte-swapped to
host byte order, i.e. 'pata_falcon.data_swab=2' will byte-swap
all user data on drive B, leaving data on drive A in native
byte order. On Q40, drives on a second IDE interface may be
added to the bit mask as bits 2 and 3.

Default setting is no byte swapping, i.e. compatibility with
the native Falcon or Q40 operating system disk format.

   How about:

	ap->private_data = (void *)(uintptr_t)(pata_falcon_swap_mask >>
			   (pdev->id > 0 ? 2 : 0));

This is so hard to decode... Let's please spell this out.
Something like:

	int shift;

	if (pdev->id)
		shift = 2;
	else
		shift = 0;
	ap->private_data = (uintptr_t)(pata_falcon_swap_mask >> shift);

This is initialization, so no need to try to optimize and rather privilege clear
code.
