Here's a little patch to clean up some of the ide parameter parsing
code. I have not tested the module version of this code but the changes
seem pretty minor. The main change is that it replaces the existing:
__setup("",ide_setup);
with:
__setup("hd",hd_setup);
__setup(ide",ide_setup);
The setup routine is split into two routines; one to process hd
parameters specific to a device, and one to process ide parameters
specific to a controller. The ide code was the only code in the kernel
that abused the __setup macro by calling it with a null string, and this
patch gets rid of that.
This is a small change, but it makes it obvious that some of the hd
parameters are actually setting controller parameters, not just device
parameters.
