Hello.

This patch allows users to override both host and device side cable detection

instead of 80-pin one.

Next patches add automatic detection of some systems using short cables.

Changes:

* Rename hwif->udma_four to hwif->cbl and make it u8.

Not sure if already short word "cable" was worth further shortening. :-)

Ahem... I'd think it was about the right time to fix the abomination which
those ata66 and cable_80_pin[2] are, something like this:

static unsigned int __devinit ata66_ali15x3 (ide_hwif_t *hwif)
{
struct pci_dev *dev = hwif->pci_dev;
unsigned int cbl = ATA_CBL_PATA40;
unsigned long flags;
u8 tmpbyte, mask = hwif->channel ? 0x02 : 0x01;

local_irq_save(flags); /* Not sure if it's necessary... */

if (m5229_revision >= 0xC2) {
/*

/*
* Allow ata66 if cable of current channel has 80 pins
*/
cbl = (tmpbyte & mask) ? ATA_CBL_PATA40 : ATA_CBL_PATA80;
} else {

[Following code frankly speaking has no business being in this function]

local_irq_restore(flags); /* Not sure if it's necessary... */

return cbl;
}

Hm, worth folding into ata66_svwks()...

Isn't this check duplicating the check in ata66_svwks()?

That doesn't look good as well. I think we should part with 'ata66' variable here completely...
