Should I laugh ? Seriously here. Those things used to work, you broke them. It may be worthwile cleanup / improvements, but at the end of the day, if you are the maintainer for drivers/ide, and things as fundamental as supporting proper ide_cs seems to be totally part of your job. I'm not saying ide_cs is broken today (though I suspect it -may- be suffering from similar breakage to media-bay), however, I'm reacting to your apparent lack of interest in making sure these things work.
