I was able to add the IDER Contoller DeviceID to ata_generic.c and it
seemed to work fine. I was also able to add it to ata_piix.c as a SATA
Controler and it seemed to work ok as well. However, when I tried to
add it to ata_piix.c as a PATA Controller if failed cable detection. I
guess this would be expected as it is a Virtual IDE contoller.

Where is the correct place to add support for IDE Redirection
Contollers?

Thanks,
