Well, as most of machines are 64-bit these days, discussing whether a
word means 16 or 32 bits is kind of moot.  I usually just think byte,
word, dword, qword and and libata and pci assume that too -
ata_id_has_dword_io() and PCI configuration accessors.  It's ultimately
a peripheral issue either way tho.

Thanks.
