I think the series makes a lot of sense. I have checked your assertions
in the changelogs and found no flaws in your logic, so I think we should
take them all through arm-soc unless there are other concerns.

Do you have a list of ARM defconfigs that keep using CONFIG_IDE and
how you determined that they need it?

I know that ARCH_RPC/ARCH_ACORN has a couple of special drivers that
have no libata replacement, are there any others like that, or are
they all platforms that should in theory work with libata but need
testing?
