Remove broken disk byte-swapping support:
- it can cause a data corruption on SMP (or if using PREEMPT on UP)
- all data coming from disk are byte-swapped by taskfile_*_data() which
results in incorrect identify data being reported by /proc/ide/ and IOCTLs
- "hdx=bswap/byteswap" kernel parameter has been broken on m68k host drivers
(including Atari/Q40 ones) since 2.5.x days (because of 'hwif' zero-ing)
- byte-swapping is limited to PIO transfers (for working with TiVo disks on
x86 machines using user-space solutions or dm-byteswap should result in
much better performance because DMA can be used)

[ I have dm-byteswap device mapper target if somebody is interested
(patch is for 2.6.4 though but I'll dust it off if needed). ]

* Make remaining built-in only IDE host drivers modular, add ide-scan-pci.c
file for probing PCI host drivers registered with IDE core (special case
for built-in IDE and CONFIG_IDEPCI_PCIBUS_ORDER=y) and then take care of
the ordering in which all IDE host drivers are probed when IDE is built-in
during link time.
* Move probing of gayle, falconide, macide, q40ide and buddha (m68k arch
specific) host drivers, before PCI ones (no PCI on m68k), ide-cris (cris
arch specific), cmd640 (x86 arch specific) and pmac (ppc arch specific).
* Move probing of ide-cris (cris arch specific) host driver before cmd640
(x86 arch specific).
* Move probing of mpc8xx (ppc specific) host driver before ide-pnp (depends
on ISA and none of ppc platform that use mpc8xx supports ISA) and ide-h8300
(h8300 arch specific).
* Add "probe_vlb" kernel parameter to cmd640 host driver and update
Documentation/ide.txt accordingly.
* Make IDE_ARM config option visible so it can also be disabled if needed.
* Remove bogus comment from ide.c while at it.
v2:
* Fix two issues spotted by Sergei:
- replace ENOMEM error value by ENOENT in ide-h8300 host driver
- fix MODULE_PARM_DESC() in cmd640 host driver

* Add "hdx=nodma" option allowing user to disallow DMA for a given device.
* Obsolete "ide=nodma" option.

It has been obsoleted since 1 Nov 2004, is valid only when used together with
"ide=nodma" kernel parameter (which makes no sense) and only for aec62xx,
cmd64x, cs5220, generic, hpt366, sl82c105, tc86c001 and triflex host drivers.

Legacy IDE VLB host drivers didn't check for "probe" options when compiled
as modules, which was obviously wrong as we don't want module to poke at
random I/O ports by simply loading it. Fix it by adding "probe" module param
to legacy IDE VLB host drivers.
v2:
* don't obsolete old "ide0=dtc2278/ht6560b/qd65xx/ali14xx/umc8672"
IDE driver options yet (per Alan Cox's request) and enhance documentation

Remove
* "hdx=serialize"
* "idex=noautotune"
* "idex=autotune"
kernel params, they have been obsoleted for ages.
"idex=serialize", "hdx=noautotune" and "hdx=autotune" are still available
so there is no funcionality loss caused by this patch.
v2:
* fix CONFIG_BLK_DEV_4DRIVES=y build broken by version 1 of the patch

This patch fixes typos in various Documentation txts. The patch addresses some
+words starting with the letters 'U-Z'.
Looks like I made it through the alphabet...just in time to start over again
+too! Maybe I can fit more profound fixes into the next round...? Time will
+tell. :)

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!
