On the one hand APM isn't enabled on all laptops.
On the other hand, this also affects regular PCs with APM support (or
using a distribution kernel with APM support).

The time for the !APM case was already increased from 30msec in 2.4 .
Isn't there a timeout that is suitable for all cases?

Until someone has a real good solution (consider e.g. that most PC users 
might have ACPI support enabled), this patch unconditionally sets 
WAIT_READY to 5 seconds.

IDE contains the following strange code:

<--  snip  -->

#if defined(CONFIG_APM) || defined(CONFIG_APM_MODULE)
#define WAIT_READY      (5*HZ)          /* 5sec - some laptops are very slow */
#else
#define WAIT_READY      (HZ/10)         /* 100msec - should be instantaneous */
#endif /* CONFIG_APM || CONFIG_APM_MODULE */

<--  snip  -->

On the other hand, this also affects regular PCs with APM support (or 
using a distribution kernel with APM support).
