So 2.6.17-rc6 plus the conflict-printer patch and the
ide-single-byte-request patch does the following (booted with the
PCMCIA/CF adapter in by accident, and I'm using a different CF card now,
but it seems to have done the right thing):

I hope somebody who understands resource.c better than me is reading
this, because I'm pretty much out of time to spend reading code.  (Happy
to test patches, of course.)
