hrm, some of this is already in #upstream (and thus -mm, though maybe
akpm has not yet regenerated his stuff).
patch(1) seems to think I already have this stuff, and indeed the most
recent changesets in pata_legacy are

pata_legacy: Merge winbond support
This puts winbond VLB in with the other ISA/VLB support and means
we can
lose pata_winbond.c. With all the VLB/ISA probe in one space (and
out of
the core libata) this makes legacy probing work sanely.
Also switch to devm_ for resource handling on the ports post probe

pata_legacy: resychronize with upstream changes and resubmit
Update the legacy driver so it can handle VLB ports nicely, and has an
internal structure for nailing new ISA/VLB forms in. Anyone got an
ALI14xx
and a spare day ;)
Also adds an "all" parameter so you can load this driver after all
the PCI
ones in a boot time kernel and tell it to grab anything ST412
compatible
even if it is an unknown PCI device. That allows libata to offer
the same
"just get me a disk somehow" fallback that old IDE did.
Obsoletes pata_qdi.
