I have happily been using a VLB cmd640 controller for the last 30 or
so patch-levels, however this support appears to have broken in kernel
1.3.100+
With these latest kernels the kernel doesn't even finish booting,
although they work correctly (albeit more slowly) if I remove the
ide0=cmd640_vlb boot option.
I'm including the boot messages for a normal (1.3.99) boot, and then
the oops messages for 1.3.100 and 1.99.1 (which were taken down by
hand) and information from the respective System.maps.
hardware: i486dx4/100, 16M ram, 2xIDE HD, 1xIDE CDROM.

This processor honours the WP bit even when in supervisor mode. Good.
