Summary: Initialise all parts of hw_regs_t structures before passing them
to ide_register_hw
The hw structure (specifically the hw->chipset field) held uninitialised
data. This (before the initialisation order fixup recently posted) meant
that no chipset could ever get selected by an idex=<chipset> commandline
(silently!).
Only occurs on non-PCI platforms. All ARM platforms have already been
fixed - though slightly differently.
I'm not sure how valid a lot of the code I patched actually is. Does it
make sense on e.g. ia64 or x86_64 to specify CONFIG_PCI = n? Or even to
have the concept of default interfaces? The interfaces should get probed
anyway, and the ide_init_hwif_ports() part is called from init_hwif_data()
already. The only thing these arch-specific routines do extra is calling
ide_register_hw, which probably wants to happen from the probes, not here.
Applies: 2.5.44 (and probably others)

No major issues here; however does it not stomp on the preloaded defaults?

Well, the patch cleans up the fact that preloaded defaults are stomped on
by uninitialised data. Now they are stomped on by 0 !! Gradual
improvement.
Actually, if the patch that moves ide_init_default_hwifs() is applied then
maybe this isn't strictly necessary. The whole area needs cleaning up, but
I was loathe to start doing major changes. I've done large parts of the
call tree for the ide driver, and I _still_ don't fully understand what
should be called when. Just as a sample, there's:
ide_init_data
ide_init_default_hwifs
ide_init_hwif_ports
init_hwif_data
ideprobe_init
probe_hwif_init
hwif_init
etc.
with little or no explanation as to what they do, but more crucially, when
they should be called. You can work out what they each do, but an idea of
the initialisation architecture would really help sort out if there are
branches that can now be got rid of.

Can you leave that bit alone for the moment. I'm currently splitting
ide.c into ide.c and ide-io.c so that all the crap is in one place ready
for extermination
