2005-06-27[PATCH] ide: sensible probing for PCI systemsAlan Cox
Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses 0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0 or 0x160. Linux thus probes these addresses on x86 systems. Unfortunately some PCI systems now use these addresses for other purposes which leads to users seeing minute plus hangs during boot or even crashes. The following patch (again has been in Fedora for a while) only probes the obscure legacy ISA ports on machinea that are pre-PCI. This seems to keep everyone happy and if there is someone with that utterly weird corner case the ide= command line still provides a get out of jail card. Unsurprisingly we've not found anyone so affected.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
