ht6560b patch for 2.4 (and 2.6?)

[Jan Evert van Grootheest]

Andre,

You're listed as the IDE maintainer for 2.4.
I'm one of the few people that own one of those Holtek 6560B VLB IDE 
interfaces.

Here's a patch against 2.4.23 that at least allows the kernel to boot 
when using the driver. Without this patch it simply hangs somewhere 
during early initialisation.

I won't be surprised if a comparable patch is required for 2.6, although 
I have not checked whether it applies. (I have no 2.6 sources yet)

This is my first kernel patch so if there is something not in order 
please let me know.

Thanks,
Jan Evert van Grootheest
