Hmm.. less mechanical conversion using also dev_*() macros where suitable
would be much better...

How's about fixing pr_devel() which currently doesn't seem to be used
by anything inside kernel to not depend on DEBUG in separate pre-patch
and then using it instead of pr_debug()?

Please re-do it so we have per-file patches instead of per-pr_.

Preferably with some files grouped together so we have only three patches:

* core code: ide-acpi.c, ide-atapi.c, ide.c, ide-devsets.c, ide-dma*.c,
  ide-eh.c, ide-io*.c, ide-legacy.c, ide-lib.c, ide-park.c, ide-pio*.c,
  ide-pm.c, ide-probe.c, ide-proc.c, ide-scan-pci.c, ide-sysfs.c,
  ide-taskfile.c, ide-timings.c, ide-xfer-mode.c and setup-pci.c

* device drivers: ide-cd*, ide-disk*, ide-gd*, ide-floppy* and ide-tape.c

* host drivers: all the rest

It would make patches easier to review and would greatly help when it
comes to merging them (i.e. I could apply changes to host drivers right
know but I don't want to interfere too much with the on-going work on
device drivers).

Thanks.
