Was macide the only IDE driver in Debian/m68k kernels without a libata
alternative? If so, this patch would allow you to finally drop CONFIG_IDE.

There's still q40ide.c (ISA IDE interface, byte-swapped, so would need treatment similar to Falcon IDE). Hasn't been updated to a platform device yet.

   ISA drivers shouldn't be "updated" to the platform drivers. But I don't see 'struct isa_driver' there either...

My bad - while the Q40 has ISA slots, IDE isn't connected to the ISA bus. Got confused by the base address range matching what I remember from ISA cards...
