Linux 2.4.21pre4-ac2

[Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com>]

More IDE updates. Finally switch the IDE layer over to the ide_execute_command
interface. This should cure problems people have seen for a long time with
big arrays and shared IRQ. Treat this with care. The other stuff is mostly
minor fixes and obscure updates, except for the Kahlua audio enabler
