Let's look at the rest of the situation surrounding HAVE_IDE first. It's something of a mess: avr32, m68knommu, ppc, s390 and v850 do not have asm/ide.h avr32, m68knommu, ppc, v850 all set HAVE_IDE, arch/s390/Kconfig contains no reference. avr32 supports PATA (which is IDE). Everything else provides an asm/ide.h and sets HAVE_IDE. So: Q1. Do avr32, m68knommu, ppc, v850 have IDE support or do they not? Q2. Should avr32, m68knommu, ppc, v850 supply an asm/ide.h header? Q3. Is it worth supporting HAVE_IDE for all kernel architectures when its just one (s390) which supports neither IDE nor ATA - or would something more generic covering both be appropriate. -- Russell King Linux kernel 2.6 ARM Linux - http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/ maintainer of:
