Get the latest BK tree.

I will have to release -rc6 (will probably do later tonight, maybe
something else shows up).

[PATCH] IDE config correctness (was: Linux 2.4.21-rc5)

Darn. Everytime I send a patch for drivers/ide/Config.in, someone beats
me to it and my patch causes a conflict. This time with one more bugfix
for the same line.

Fixes:
CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST was not selectable if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD=m

CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST depended on CONFI_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI, which is a typo.

Please apply,

Carl-Daniel

Hi,

Kernel 2.4.21-rc5 with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY=y still doen't build (it

I resend this patch which shoud fix the problem.
