The old ide_get_error_location() acceses hardware registers after the
flush request is finished, so the registers could have been crobbered by
other on-going or finished requests.

Yeah, it was kind of intentional as all other functions which do
IDE_DRIVE_TASK_NO_DATA don't initialize args.data_phase explicitly.
patch #29 makes this change for all such cases including this one.

Sure.

I think I'll leave the code like above here and make another patch which
removes all uses of HWGROUP() and HWGROUP() itself. What do you think
about that?

No, I added ide_task_t flush_args to hwgroup_t not a pointer to
ide_task_t, so the definition of ide_task_t has to come before the
definition of hwgroup_t.

And it seemd kind of lonely after ide_task_t moved upward. :-) How
about modifying this patch such that it moves only the ide_task_t and
adding another patch to kill pkt_task_t?

Yeah, it isn't needed. I was trying to be conformant with other
declarations in the file. I'll leave above line as it is now and write
another patch to remove all extern's in front of function prototypes in
ide drivers. What do you think?
