I confirmed that the mmio_ide patch works fine for SH4 system emulation.
I hope it to be merged into trunk.

By the way, I guess pmac_ide functions can be re-implemented with
mmio_ide functions.  Before trying this work, I want working kernel
and disk image for PowerMAC(g3bw) system emulation to check if new
implementation works fine or not.

The kernel and disk image for PREP are found at the following URL,
http://www.oszoo.org/wiki/index.php/Debian_Etch_ppc_(PowerPC)_-_Qemu_Ready
But PREP's ide feature does not use pmac_ide but uses isa_ide, so it
does not suit for my purpose.

Any indications or comments will be appreciated.
