Since it seems that libata developers need more time to fully analyze
issues with ata_id_has_dword_io() and I don't want to delay this fix
because if it could you please modify the patch according to Sergei's
suggestion of removing id[ATA_ID_DWORD_IO] check altogether?

Thanks,
Bart

I merged the patch and did the modification while at it:

From: Mario Schwalbe <schwalbe@inf.tu-dresden.de>
Subject: [PATCH] ide: Fix drive's DWORD-IO handling

According the documentation, id[ATA_ID_DWORD_IO] is non-zero if
the drive supports dword IO, while the code disables support by
setting IDE_DFLAG_NO_IO_32BIT. In addition, this word has been
reused by the ATA8 specification. This patch fixes both cases.

This change is OK and I would happily apply the patch but...

ata_id_has_dword_io() itself has bugs that need fixing (which would
have a nice side-effect of fixing some libata drivers that happen to
use it directly).  ATA_ID_DWORD_IO word is defined only in ATA-1 spec
and devices confirming to the later versions of spec support dword IO
just fine despite using zero value for the said word.

Thus could you please fix ata_id_has_dword_io() first (preferrably in
a separate patch) and than re-submit this patch (btw please remember to
include "Signed-off-by" line in your patches).

Thanks,
Bart
