[PATCH] ide: remove stale comments from ide-dma.c

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>]

- ide-dma.c is not a separate module

- ide-dma.c is not PCI specific anymore

- DMA is enabled by default nowadays

- link for Intel Zappa BIOS is dead

etc.

 /*
- * This module provides support for the bus-master IDE DMA functions
- * of various PCI chipsets, including the Intel PIIX (i82371FB for
- * the 430 FX chipset), the PIIX3 (i82371SB for the 430 HX/VX and 
- * 440 chipsets), and the PIIX4 (i82371AB for the 430 TX chipset)
- * ("PIIX" stands for "PCI ISA IDE Xcellerator").
- *
- * Pretty much the same code works for other IDE PCI bus-mastering chipsets.
- *
- * DMA is supported for all IDE devices (disk drives, cdroms, tapes, floppies).
- *
- * By default, DMA support is prepared for use, but is currently enabled only
- * for drives which already have DMA enabled (UltraDMA or mode 2 multi/single),
- * or which are recognized as "good" (see table below).  Drives with only mode0
- * or mode1 (multi/single) DMA should also work with this chipset/driver
- * (eg. MC2112A) but are not enabled by default.
- *
- * Use "hdparm -i" to view modes supported by a given drive.
- *
- * The hdparm-3.5 (or later) utility can be used for manually enabling/disabling
- * DMA support, but must be (re-)compiled against this kernel version or later.
- *
- * To enable DMA, use "hdparm -d1 /dev/hd?" on a per-drive basis after booting.
- * If problems arise, ide.c will disable DMA operation after a few retries.
- * This error recovery mechanism works and has been extremely well exercised.
- *
- * IDE drives, depending on their vintage, may support several different modes
- * of DMA operation.  The boot-time modes are indicated with a "*" in
- * the "hdparm -i" listing, and can be changed with *knowledgeable* use of
- * the "hdparm -X" feature.  There is seldom a need to do this, as drives
- * normally power-up with their "best" PIO/DMA modes enabled.
- *
- * Testing has been done with a rather extensive number of drives,
- * with Quantum & Western Digital models generally outperforming the pack,
- * and Fujitsu & Conner (and some Seagate which are really Conner) drives
- * showing more lackluster throughput.
- *
- * Keep an eye on /var/adm/messages for "DMA disabled" messages.
- *
- * Some people have reported trouble with Intel Zappa motherboards.
- * This can be fixed by upgrading the AMI BIOS to version 1.00.04.BS0,
- * available from ftp://ftp.intel.com/pub/bios/10004bs0.exe
- * (thanks to Glen Morrell <glen@spin.Stanford.edu> for researching this).
- *
  * Thanks to "Christopher J. Reimer" <reimer@doe.carleton.ca> for
  * fixing the problem with the BIOS on some Acer motherboards.

  * Most importantly, thanks to Robert Bringman <rob@mars.trion.com>
  * for supplying a Promise UDMA board & WD UDMA drive for this work!
