Thanks Bart. This does solve the "nobody cared" problem.

I also tested it without David's initial patch (i.e. *with* 
IDE_HFLAG_SERIALIZE in host-flags) and that seems to work fine too:
ide0 at 0x1fe02c00000-0x1fe02c00007,0x1fe02c0000a on irq 14 (serialized)
ide1 at 0x1fe02c00010-0x1fe02c00017,0x1fe02c0001a on irq 14 (serialized)

No idea whether serialized is to be preferred or not. Guess that's David's 
call now.


I do still get the "bad DMA info in identify block" error for the CD 
drive, so that's still a regression relative to 2.6.26:
 hdd: host max PIO5 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4
-hdd: MWDMA2 mode selected
+hdd: bad DMA info in identify block
+hdd: host max PIO5 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4
