Változások: [+ indicates stuff that went to Marcelo, o stuff that has not,
* indicates stuff that is merged in mainstream now, X stuff that proved bad and was dropped out, - indicates stuff not relevant to the main tree]
The HP merge is now down to 3503 lines pending IDE status Chasing two reports of strange ide-scsi crashes Still some Promise glitches - need to review merge carefully Need to double check SiS code versus older SiS code. Sometimes we now turn DMA off excessively for simplex devices No corruption cases except known hardware icompatibilities that broke before
The insmod of IDE drivers isnt in yet. I've been rather busy so it didn't make the time. However anyone who wants should be able to fill in the other bits of the ide pci driver registration logic to finish it off.
Once I get a bit of time I'll resync with Marcelo and push him various updates.

(no functional change)
- Clean ups for the attach logic
