Since I'm coding to today's kernel, not to a patch which doesn't exist
yet, taking them out won't work very well.

I've not been paying much attention to drivers/ide, so I've no idea
whether the following patch works. It does at least compile:

If I've understood 0dfb991c6943c810175376b58d1c29cfe532541b correctly,
this should be equivalent. Bart?
