This is quick rework of the patch Uwe proposed but using Kconfig not
ifdefs and user selection to sort out PATA support. Instead of ifdefs and
requiring the user to select both drivers the SATA driver selects the
PATA one.

For neatness I've also moved the extern into the function that uses it.

Two questions really
1. Do you want the extern in a header file
2. Is this now neat enough to keep you happy Jeff or shall I do
the library split anyway ?

Please let me know so I can fire off new versions and try and get
this one submitted for good today.

Signed-off-by: Alan Cox

I ACK this patch, as mentioned earlier, but the description and sign-off leave something to be desired.

Would you rather resend this patch without all the commentary, so that it may be automatically snarfed, or just resend a proper description and sign-off?

Note that (as stated in Documentation/SubmittingPatches) the standard way to include commentary is to include it after the patch description and "---" separator. Anything after "---" is automatically snipped.

This applies to patches sent to Linus, me, and anyone else who uses git to import patches. (as well as being the patch format standard)
