Hi Bart,

may I ask you to apply yet another inter-diff? This is in order to
address three issues:

1. Make sure that no negative value is being passed to
   jiffies_to_msecs() in ide_park_show().
2. Drop the superfluous variable hwif in ide_special_rq().
3. Skip initialisation of task and tf in ide_special_rq() if we are not
   handling a (un)park request.

#1 and #3 have been suggested to me by Peter Moulder off-list.

Regards,

Elias
