This is the patch (based on 2.6.19-rc4) for PATA controller of
Toshiba Cell reference set(Celleb). The reference set consists
of Cell, 512MB memory, Super Companion Chip(SCC) and some
peripherals such as HDD, GbE, etc. You can see brief explanation
and picture of Cell reference set at following URLs.

We use a drivers/ide driver because its design is more suitable for
SCC IDE controller than libata driver. Since SCC supports only 32bit
read/write, we must override many callbacks of ata_port_operations
by modifying generic helpers. Each time the libata common code is
updated, we must update those modified helpers. It is very hard for us.
But we will try to implement the libata driver as needed.

This patch implements ACPI integration for generic IDE devices.
The ACPI spec mandates that some methods are called during suspend and
resume. And consequently there most modern Laptops cannot resume
properly without it.
According to the spec, we should call '_GTM' (Get Timing) upon suspend
to store the current IDE adapter settings.
Upon resume we should call '_STM' (Set Timing) to initialize the
adapter with the stored settings; afterwards '_GTF' (Get Taskfile)
should be called which returns a buffer with some IDE initialisation
commands. Those commands should be passed to the drive.
There are two module params which control the behaviour of this patch:
'ide=noacpi'
Do not call any ACPI methods (Disables any ACPI method calls)
'ide=acpigtf'
Enable execution of _GTF methods upon resume.
Has no effect if 'ide=noacpi' is set.
'ide=acpionboot'
Enable execution of ACPI methods during boot.
This might be required on some machines if 'ide=acpigtf' is
selected as some machines modify the _GTF information
depending on the drive identification passed down with _STM.

This driver supports the IDE port on the Sibyte Swarm evaluation boards
and it's relatives for the BCM1250 family of systems on a chip.

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!
