This was my last resort, as all searches on the subject topic yield
messages from 2004, many of which mention Jeff Garzik's name.
After trying 2.6.13.2, I still don't get the PATA drives recognized, so I
believe it's still not there yet.
The question is, will it ever be, or has it been dropped?
However, this patch in particular is safe and OK -- it just needs cleaning
up before including in 2.6.13, and I haven't figured out how to clean it up
yet. The port_flags[] array this patch adds is a hack.
I need to separate the port settings from the host settings, which would be
the proper fix.
