Subject: [PATCH] ide: Allow IDE interface to specify its not capable of 32-bit operations

In some embedded systems the IDE hardware interface may only support 16-bit
or smaller accesses. Allow the interface to specify if this is the case
and don't allow the drive or user to override the setting.

The "no_io_32bit" is just a dead leftover. It has no effect at all
anyway so this patch is a bit pointless.



Do a grep over the code for no_io_32bit and you will see its essentially
a private variable in the CMD640 driver.

Please grep ide.c for "no_io_32bit". Thank you.

Ok I take it back its merely broken and pointless code rather than do
nothing.

You are welcomed to fix what you think is broken/pointless.

OTOH Kumar's patch is perfectly fine.

Thank you,
