The only bother I've found so far is the pci_get_device_reverse() function, it's used in 2 places, IDE and the calgary driver. I'm curious if we really still support the ide=reverse option? It's a config option that I don't think the distros still enable (SuSE does not). Is this still needed these days? In digging, we changed this option in 2.2.x from being called "pci=reverse" and no one else seems to miss it. Any thoughts? thanks, greg k-h
