I don't remember the background but I think it was needed because of badly perplexed ide_init_hwif_ports() and friends in <asm/ide.h> vs <linux/ide.h> (almost all this stuff is gone in IDE tree for 2.6.26)... Ok, I found the patch: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=4b3b8ee5db37... [ tglx's history tree since it is from May 2004. ] It could be that I did the poor job of explaining things back then but I also didn't like the fact that I needed to restrict the IDE choice on ARM - the change in question was _necessary_ to start converting IDE drivers to become real, independent, modular host drivers and as a preparation for adding proper warm-plug support.
