Ok thanks, I got the same dump. I think the problem is that memory used by
previously registered ide_pci_host_proc_list entry (for pdc202xx_new driver)
is already unmapped because of __initdata in pdc202xx_new.h.
(This doesn't happen in built-in case because this memory is freed after
all drivers are initialized.)

Does this patch help?

Ahh, indeed it does, _but_

pdc202xx_old seems to have the same bug, making via82cxxx crash later on instead.

Doing the same change to pdc202xx_old.h (removing __initdata) fixes this case too :-)
