Dunno if I qualify as sufficiently 'really smart' enough but the last time I put in the considerable effort needed to re-sync the 2.4 and 2.6 IDE layers, and merge in the useful -ac bits that never made it into mainstream, nothing whatsoever came of my efforts... My 2.4.x patches are in daily use by a large group of people and they work fine, for what it is worth. My IDE merging patches are the following: http://codepoet.org/kernel/ 020_ide_layer_2.4.22-ac4.bz2 021_ide_geom_hpa_capacity64.bz2 022-extra-ide-drives.bz2 023-2.4.25-libata1.patch.bz2 024_libata-spurious2.diff.bz2 025-cenatek.patch.bz2 026-medley-softraid.patch.bz2 The 021_ide_geom_hpa_capacity64.bz2 is my original work, the others are the result of skimming patches from the list and merging/updating them as needed to sync with the other patches and keep them current. -Erik -- Erik B.
