Of course it's wrong. That was done specifically for your custom
embedded hardware. There wasn't any mechanism in that code base to
ack the ATA interrupt if it didn't come from known IDE hatdware.

That work was done for you under contract on the RPX-Lite. If you wish
to give this away, go ahead. My intention is to use newer IDE abstractions
or Magnus' real PCMCIA instead of this unique solution for you.
