+ * types of limited range.
+ * 4.12 Mar 29, 1998 -- Fixed bug in CDROM_SELECT_SPEED so write speed is

+ * drive in transfer size limit.
+ * - Fix the I/O error when doing eject without a medium
+ * loaded on some drives.
+ * - CDROMREADMODE2 is now implemented through
+ * CDROMREADRAW, since many drives don't support
+ * MODE2 (even though ATAPI 2.6 says they must).
+ * - Added ignore parameter to ide-cd (as a module), eg
+ * insmod ide-cd ignore='hda hdb'
+ * Useful when using ide-cd in conjunction with
+ * ide-scsi. TODO: non-modular way of doing the
+ * same.
+ *
+ * 4.54 Aug 5, 1999 - Support for MMC2 class commands through the generic

+ * non-changers as well.
+ * - mask out audio playing, if the device can't do it.
+ *
+ * 4.55 Sep 1, 1999 - Eliminated the rest of the audio ioctls, except
+ * for CDROMREADTOC[ENTRY|HEADER]. Some of the drivers
+ * use this independently of the actual audio handling.
+ * They will disappear later when I get the time to
+ * do it cleanly.
+ * - Minimize the TOC reading - only do it when we
+ * know a media change has occurred.
+ * - Moved all the CDROMREADx ioctls to the Uniform layer.
+ * - Heiko Eißfeldt <heiko@colossus.escape.de> supplied
+ * some fixes for CDI.
+ * - CD-ROM leaving door locked fix from Andries
+ * Brouwer <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>
+ * - Erik Andersen <andersen@xmission.com> unified
+ * commands across the various drivers and how
+ * sense errors are handled.
+ *
+ * 4.56 Sep 12, 1999 - Removed changer support - it is now in the
+ * Uniform layer.
+ * - Added partition based multisession handling.
+ * - Mode sense and mode select moved to the
+ * Uniform layer.

+/*
+ * Many thanks to Lode Leroy <Lode.Leroy@www.ibase.be>, who tested so many
+ * ALPHA patches to this driver on an EASYSTOR LS-120 ATAPI floppy drive.
+ *
+ * Ver 0.1 Oct 17 96 Initial test version, mostly based on ide-tape.c.
+ * Ver 0.2 Oct 31 96 Minor changes.
+ * Ver 0.3 Dec 2 96 Fixed error recovery bug.
+ * Ver 0.4 Jan 26 97 Add support for the HDIO_GETGEO ioctl.
+ * Ver 0.5 Feb 21 97 Add partitions support.
+ * Use the minimum of the LBA and CHS capacities.
+ * Avoid hwgroup->rq == NULL on the last irq.
+ * Fix potential null dereferencing with DEBUG_LOG.
+ * Ver 0.8 Dec 7 97 Increase irq timeout from 10 to 50 seconds.
+ * Add media write-protect detection.
+ * Issue START command only if TEST UNIT READY fails.
+ * Add work-around for IOMEGA ZIP revision 21.D.
+ * Remove idefloppy_get_capabilities().
+ * Ver 0.9 Jul 4 99 Fix a bug which might have caused the number of
+ * bytes requested on each interrupt to be zero.
+ * Thanks to <shanos@es.co.nz> for pointing this out.
+ * Ver 0.9.sv Jan 6 01 Sam Varshavchik <mrsam@courier-mta.com>
+ * Implement low level formatting. Reimplemented
+ * IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, since we need the srfp
+ * bit. My LS-120 drive barfs on
+ * IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, but maybe it's just me.
+ * Compromise by not reporting a failure to get this
+ * mode page. Implemented four IOCTLs in order to
+ * implement formatting. IOCTls begin with 0x4600,
+ * 0x46 is 'F' as in Format.
+ * Jan 9 01 Userland option to select format verify.
+ * Added PC_SUPPRESS_ERROR flag - some idefloppy drives
+ * do not implement IDEFLOPPY_CAPABILITIES_PAGE, and
+ * return a sense error. Suppress error reporting in
+ * this particular case in order to avoid spurious
+ * errors in syslog. The culprit is
+ * idefloppy_get_capability_page(), so move it to
+ * idefloppy_begin_format() so that it's not used
+ * unless absolutely necessary.
+ * If drive does not support format progress indication
+ * monitor the dsc bit in the status register.
+ * Also, O_NDELAY on open will allow the device to be
+ * opened without a disk available. This can be used to
+ * open an unformatted disk, or get the device capacity.
+ * Ver 0.91 Dec 11 99 Added IOMEGA Clik! drive support by
+ * <paul@paulbristow.net>
+ * Ver 0.92 Oct 22 00 Paul Bristow became official maintainer for this
+ * driver. Included Powerbook internal zip kludge.
+ * Ver 0.93 Oct 24 00 Fixed bugs for Clik! drive
+ * no disk on insert and disk change now works
+ * Ver 0.94 Oct 27 00 Tidied up to remove strstr(Clik) everywhere
+ * Ver 0.95 Nov 7 00 Brought across to kernel 2.4
+ * Ver 0.96 Jan 7 01 Actually in line with release version of 2.4.0
+ * including set_bit patch from Rusty Russell
+ * Ver 0.97 Jul 22 01 Merge 0.91-0.96 onto 0.9.sv for ac series
+ * Ver 0.97.sv Aug 3 01 Backported from 2.4.7-ac3
+ * Ver 0.98 Oct 26 01 Split idefloppy_transfer_pc into two pieces to
+ * fix a lost interrupt problem. It appears the busy
+ * bit was being deasserted by my IOMEGA ATAPI ZIP 100
+ * drive before the drive was actually ready.
+ * Ver 0.98a Oct 29 01 Expose delay value so we can play.
+ * Ver 0.99 Feb 24 02 Remove duplicate code, modify clik! detection code
+ * to support new PocketZip drives

+/*
+ * Ver 0.1 Nov 1 95 Pre-working code :-)
+ * Ver 0.2 Nov 23 95 A short backup (few megabytes) and restore procedure
+ * was successful ! (Using tar cvf ... on the block
+ * device interface).
+ * A longer backup resulted in major swapping, bad
+ * overall Linux performance and eventually failed as
+ * we received non serial read-ahead requests from the
+ * buffer cache.
+ * Ver 0.3 Nov 28 95 Long backups are now possible, thanks to the
+ * character device interface. Linux's responsiveness
+ * and performance doesn't seem to be much affected
+ * from the background backup procedure.
+ * Some general mtio.h magnetic tape operations are
+ * now supported by our character device. As a result,
+ * popular tape utilities are starting to work with
+ * ide tapes :-)
+ * The following configurations were tested:
+ * 1. An IDE ATAPI TAPE shares the same interface
+ * and irq with an IDE ATAPI CDROM.
+ * 2. An IDE ATAPI TAPE shares the same interface
+ * and irq with a normal IDE disk.
+ * Both configurations seemed to work just fine !
+ * However, to be on the safe side, it is meanwhile
+ * recommended to give the IDE TAPE its own interface
+ * and irq.
+ * The one thing which needs to be done here is to
+ * add a "request postpone" feature to ide.c,
+ * so that we won't have to wait for the tape to finish
+ * performing a long media access (DSC) request (such
+ * as a rewind) before we can access the other device
+ * on the same interface. This effect doesn't disturb
+ * normal operation most of the time because read/write
+ * requests are relatively fast, and once we are
+ * performing one tape r/w request, a lot of requests
+ * from the other device can be queued and ide.c will
+ * service all of them after this single tape request.
+ * Ver 1.0 Dec 11 95 Integrated into Linux 1.3.46 development tree.
+ * On each read / write request, we now ask the drive
+ * if we can transfer a constant number of bytes
+ * (a parameter of the drive) only to its buffers,
+ * without causing actual media access. If we can't,
+ * we just wait until we can by polling the DSC bit.
+ * This ensures that while we are not transferring
+ * more bytes than the constant referred to above, the
+ * interrupt latency will not become too high and
+ * we won't cause an interrupt timeout, as happened
+ * occasionally in the previous version.
+ * While polling for DSC, the current request is
+ * postponed and ide.c is free to handle requests from
+ * the other device. This is handled transparently to
+ * ide.c. The hwgroup locking method which was used
+ * in the previous version was removed.
+ * Use of new general features which are provided by
+ * ide.c for use with atapi devices.
+ * (Programming done by Mark Lord)
+ * Few potential bug fixes (Again, suggested by Mark)
+ * Single character device data transfers are now
+ * not limited in size, as they were before.
+ * We are asking the tape about its recommended
+ * transfer unit and send a larger data transfer
+ * as several transfers of the above size.
+ * For best results, use an integral number of this
+ * basic unit (which is shown during driver
+ * initialization). I will soon add an ioctl to get
+ * this important parameter.
+ * Our data transfer buffer is allocated on startup,
+ * rather than before each data transfer. This should
+ * ensure that we will indeed have a data buffer.
+ * Ver 1.1 Dec 14 95 Fixed random problems which occurred when the tape
+ * shared an interface with another device.
+ * (poll_for_dsc was a complete mess).
+ * Removed some old (non-active) code which had
+ * to do with supporting buffer cache originated
+ * requests.
+ * The block device interface can now be opened, so
+ * that general ide driver features like the unmask
+ * interrupts flag can be selected with an ioctl.
+ * This is the only use of the block device interface.
+ * New fast pipelined operation mode (currently only on
+ * writes). When using the pipelined mode, the
+ * throughput can potentially reach the maximum
+ * tape supported throughput, regardless of the
+ * user backup program. On my tape drive, it sometimes
+ * boosted performance by a factor of 2. Pipelined
+ * mode is enabled by default, but since it has a few
+ * downfalls as well, you may want to disable it.
+ * A short explanation of the pipelined operation mode
+ * is available below.
+ * Ver 1.2 Jan 1 96 Eliminated pipelined mode race condition.
+ * Added pipeline read mode. As a result, restores
+ * are now as fast as backups.
+ * Optimized shared interface behavior. The new behavior
+ * typically results in better IDE bus efficiency and
+ * higher tape throughput.
+ * Pre-calculation of the expected read/write request
+ * service time, based on the tape's parameters. In
+ * the pipelined operation mode, this allows us to
+ * adjust our polling frequency to a much lower value,
+ * and thus to dramatically reduce our load on Linux,
+ * without any decrease in performance.
+ * Implemented additional mtio.h operations.
+ * The recommended user block size is returned by
+ * the MTIOCGET ioctl.
+ * Additional minor changes.
+ * Ver 1.3 Feb 9 96 Fixed pipelined read mode bug which prevented the
+ * use of some block sizes during a restore procedure.
+ * The character device interface will now present a
+ * continuous view of the media - any mix of block sizes
+ * during a backup/restore procedure is supported. The
+ * driver will buffer the requests internally and
+ * convert them to the tape's recommended transfer
+ * unit, making performance almost independent of the
+ * chosen user block size.
+ * Some improvements in error recovery.
+ * By cooperating with ide-dma.c, bus mastering DMA can
+ * now sometimes be used with IDE tape drives as well.
+ * Bus mastering DMA has the potential to dramatically
+ * reduce the CPU's overhead when accessing the device,
+ * and can be enabled by using hdparm -d1 on the tape's
+ * block device interface. For more info, read the
+ * comments in ide-dma.c.
+ * Ver 1.4 Mar 13 96 Fixed serialize support.
+ * Ver 1.5 Apr 12 96 Fixed shared interface operation, broken in 1.3.85.
+ * Fixed pipelined read mode inefficiency.

+IDE ATAPI streaming tape driver.
+
+This driver is a part of the Linux ide driver.
+
+The driver, in co-operation with ide.c, basically traverses the
+request-list for the block device interface. The character device
+interface, on the other hand, creates new requests, adds them
+to the request-list of the block device, and waits for their completion.
+
+The block device major and minor numbers are determined from the
+tape's relative position in the ide interfaces, as explained in ide.c.
+
+The character device interface consists of the following devices:
+
+ht0 major 37, minor 0 first IDE tape, rewind on close.
+ht1 major 37, minor 1 second IDE tape, rewind on close.
+...
+nht0 major 37, minor 128 first IDE tape, no rewind on close.
+nht1 major 37, minor 129 second IDE tape, no rewind on close.
+...
+
+The general magnetic tape commands compatible interface, as defined by
+include/linux/mtio.h, is accessible through the character device.
+
+General ide driver configuration options, such as the interrupt-unmask
+flag, can be configured by issuing an ioctl to the block device interface,
+as any other ide device.
+
+Our own ide-tape ioctl's can be issued to either the block device or
+the character device interface.
+
+Maximal throughput with minimal bus load will usually be achieved in the
+following scenario:
+
+ 1. ide-tape is operating in the pipelined operation mode.
+ 2. No buffering is performed by the user backup program.
+
+Testing was done with a 2 GB CONNER CTMA 4000 IDE ATAPI Streaming Tape Drive.
+
+Here are some words from the first releases of hd.c, which are quoted
+in ide.c and apply here as well:
+
+| Special care is recommended. Have Fun!
+
+Possible improvements:
+
+1. Support for the ATAPI overlap protocol.
+
+In order to maximize bus throughput, we currently use the DSC
+overlap method which enables ide.c to service requests from the
+other device while the tape is busy executing a command. The
+DSC overlap method involves polling the tape's status register
+for the DSC bit, and servicing the other device while the tape
+isn't ready.
+
+In the current QIC development standard (December 1995),
+it is recommended that new tape drives will *in addition*
+implement the ATAPI overlap protocol, which is used for the
+same purpose - efficient use of the IDE bus, but is interrupt
+driven and thus has much less CPU overhead.
+
+ATAPI overlap is likely to be supported in most new ATAPI
+devices, including new ATAPI cdroms, and thus provides us
+a method by which we can achieve higher throughput when
+sharing a (fast) ATA-2 disk with any (slow) new ATAPI device.

+
+ Information regarding the Enhanced IDE drive in Linux 2.6
+
+==============================================================================
+
+
+ The hdparm utility can be used to control various IDE features on a
+ running system. It is packaged separately. Please Look for it on popular
+ linux FTP sites.
+
+
+
+*** IMPORTANT NOTICES: BUGGY IDE CHIPSETS CAN CORRUPT DATA!!
+*** =================
+*** PCI versions of the CMD640 and RZ1000 interfaces are now detected
+*** automatically at startup when PCI BIOS support is configured.
+***
+*** Linux disables the "prefetch" ("readahead") mode of the RZ1000
+*** to prevent data corruption possible due to hardware design flaws.
+***
+*** For the CMD640, linux disables "IRQ unmasking" (hdparm -u1) on any
+*** drive for which the "prefetch" mode of the CMD640 is turned on.
+*** If "prefetch" is disabled (hdparm -p8), then "IRQ unmasking" can be
+*** used again.
+***
+*** For the CMD640, linux disables "32bit I/O" (hdparm -c1) on any drive
+*** for which the "prefetch" mode of the CMD640 is turned off.
+*** If "prefetch" is enabled (hdparm -p9), then "32bit I/O" can be
+*** used again.
+***
+*** The CMD640 is also used on some Vesa Local Bus (VLB) cards, and is *NOT*
+*** automatically detected by Linux. For safe, reliable operation with such
+*** interfaces, one *MUST* use the "cmd640.probe_vlb" kernel option.
+***
+*** Use of the "serialize" option is no longer necessary.
+
+================================================================================
+Common pitfalls:
+
+- 40-conductor IDE cables are capable of transferring data in DMA modes up to
+ udma2, but no faster.
+
+- If possible devices should be attached to separate channels if they are
+ available. Typically the disk on the first and CD-ROM on the second.
+
+- If you mix devices on the same cable, please consider using similar devices
+ in respect of the data transfer mode they support.
+
+- Even better try to stick to the same vendor and device type on the same
+ cable.
+
+================================================================================
+
+This is the multiple IDE interface driver, as evolved from hd.c.
+
+It supports up to 9 IDE interfaces per default, on one or more IRQs (usually
+14 & 15). There can be up to two drives per interface, as per the ATA-6 spec.
+
+Primary: ide0, port 0x1f0; major=3; hda is minor=0; hdb is minor=64
+Secondary: ide1, port 0x170; major=22; hdc is minor=0; hdd is minor=64
+Tertiary: ide2, port 0x1e8; major=33; hde is minor=0; hdf is minor=64
+Quaternary: ide3, port 0x168; major=34; hdg is minor=0; hdh is minor=64
+fifth.. ide4, usually PCI, probed
+sixth.. ide5, usually PCI, probed
+
+To access devices on interfaces > ide0, device entries please make sure that
+device files for them are present in /dev. If not, please create such
+entries, by using /dev/MAKEDEV.
+
+This driver automatically probes for most IDE interfaces (including all PCI
+ones), for the drives/geometries attached to those interfaces, and for the IRQ
+lines being used by the interfaces (normally 14, 15 for ide0/ide1).
+
+Any number of interfaces may share a single IRQ if necessary, at a slight
+performance penalty, whether on separate cards or a single VLB card.
+The IDE driver automatically detects and handles this. However, this may
+or may not be harmful to your hardware.. two or more cards driving the same IRQ
+can potentially burn each other's bus driver, though in practice this
+seldom occurs. Be careful, and if in doubt, don't do it!
+
+Drives are normally found by auto-probing and/or examining the CMOS/BIOS data.
+For really weird situations, the apparent (fdisk) geometry can also be specified
+on the kernel "command line" using LILO. The format of such lines is:
+
+ ide_core.chs=[interface_number.device_number]:cyls,heads,sects
+or ide_core.cdrom=[interface_number.device_number]
+
+For example:
+
+ ide_core.chs=1.0:1050,32,64 ide_core.cdrom=1.1
+
+The results of successful auto-probing may override the physical geometry/irq
+specified, though the "original" geometry may be retained as the "logical"
+geometry for partitioning purposes (fdisk).
+
+If the auto-probing during boot time confuses a drive (ie. the drive works
+with hd.c but not with ide.c), then an command line option may be specified
+for each drive for which you'd like the drive to skip the hardware
+probe/identification sequence. For example:
+
+ ide_core.noprobe=0.1
+or
+ ide_core.chs=1.0:768,16,32
+ ide_core.noprobe=1.0
+
+Note that when only one IDE device is attached to an interface, it should be
+jumpered as "single" or "master", *not* "slave". Many folks have had
+"trouble" with cdroms because of this requirement, so the driver now probes
+for both units, though success is more likely when the drive is jumpered
+correctly.
+
+Courtesy of Scott Snyder and others, the driver supports ATAPI cdrom drives
+such as the NEC-260 and the new MITSUMI triple/quad speed drives.
+Such drives will be identified at boot time, just like a hard disk.
+
+If for some reason your cdrom drive is *not* found at boot time, you can force
+the probe to look harder by supplying a kernel command line parameter
+via LILO, such as:
+
+ ide_core.cdrom=1.0 /* "master" on second interface (hdc) */
+or
+ ide_core.cdrom=1.1 /* "slave" on second interface (hdd) */
+
+For example, a GW2000 system might have a hard drive on the primary
+interface (/dev/hda) and an IDE cdrom drive on the secondary interface
+(/dev/hdc). To mount a CD in the cdrom drive, one would use something like:
+
+ ln -sf /dev/hdc /dev/cdrom
+ mkdir /mnt/cdrom
+ mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom -t iso9660 -o ro
+
+If, after doing all of the above, mount doesn't work and you see
+errors from the driver (with dmesg) complaining about `status=0xff',
+this means that the hardware is not responding to the driver's attempts
+to read it. One of the following is probably the problem:
+
+ - Your hardware is broken.
+
+ - You are using the wrong address for the device, or you have the
+ drive jumpered wrong. Review the configuration instructions above.
+
+ - Your IDE controller requires some nonstandard initialization sequence
+ before it will work properly. If this is the case, there will often
+ be a separate MS-DOS driver just for the controller. IDE interfaces
+ on sound cards usually fall into this category. Such configurations
+ can often be made to work by first booting MS-DOS, loading the
+ appropriate drivers, and then warm-booting linux (without powering
+ off). This can be automated using loadlin in the MS-DOS autoexec.
+
+If you always get timeout errors, interrupts from the drive are probably
+not making it to the host. Check how you have the hardware jumpered
+and make sure it matches what the driver expects (see the configuration
+instructions above). If you have a PCI system, also check the BIOS
+setup; I've had one report of a system which was shipped with IRQ 15
+disabled by the BIOS.
+
+The kernel is able to execute binaries directly off of the cdrom,
+provided it is mounted with the default block size of 1024 (as above).
+
+Please pass on any feedback on any of this stuff to the maintainer,
+whose address can be found in linux/MAINTAINERS.
+
+The IDE driver is modularized. The high level disk/CD-ROM/tape/floppy
+drivers can always be compiled as loadable modules, the chipset drivers
+can only be compiled into the kernel, and the core code (ide.c) can be
+compiled as a loadable module provided no chipset support is needed.
+
+When using ide.c as a module in combination with kmod, add:
+
+ alias block-major-3 ide-probe
+
+to a configuration file in /etc/modprobe.d/.
+
+When ide.c is used as a module, you can pass command line parameters to the
+driver using the "options=" keyword to insmod, while replacing any ',' with
+';'.
+
+
+================================================================================
+
+Summary of ide driver parameters for kernel command line
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+For legacy IDE VLB host drivers (ali14xx/dtc2278/ht6560b/qd65xx/umc8672)
+you need to explicitly enable probing by using "probe" kernel parameter,
+i.e. to enable probing for ALI M14xx chipsets (ali14xx host driver) use:
+
+* "ali14xx.probe" boot option when ali14xx driver is built-in the kernel
+
+* "probe" module parameter when ali14xx driver is compiled as module
+ ("modprobe ali14xx probe")
+
+Also for legacy CMD640 host driver (cmd640) you need to use "probe_vlb"
+kernel paremeter to enable probing for VLB version of the chipset (PCI ones
+are detected automatically).
+
+You also need to use "probe" kernel parameter for ide-4drives driver
+(support for IDE generic chipset with four drives on one port).
+
+To enable support for IDE doublers on Amiga use "doubler" kernel parameter
+for gayle host driver (i.e. "gayle.doubler" if the driver is built-in).
+
+To force ignoring cable detection (this should be needed only if you're using
+short 40-wires cable which cannot be automatically detected - if this is not
+a case please report it as a bug instead) use "ignore_cable" kernel parameter:
+
+* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
+ (i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")
+
+* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
+ if IDE is compiled as module
+
+Other kernel parameters for ide_core are:
+
+* "nodma=[interface_number.device_number]" to disallow DMA for a device
+
+* "noflush=[interface_number.device_number]" to disable flush requests
+
+* "nohpa=[interface_number.device_number]" to disable Host Protected Area
+
+* "noprobe=[interface_number.device_number]" to skip probing
+
+* "nowerr=[interface_number.device_number]" to ignore the WRERR_STAT bit
+
+* "cdrom=[interface_number.device_number]" to force device as a CD-ROM
+
+* "chs=[interface_number.device_number]" to force device as a disk (using CHS)
+
+================================================================================
+
+Some Terminology
+----------------
+IDE = Integrated Drive Electronics, meaning that each drive has a built-in
+controller, which is why an "IDE interface card" is not a "controller card".
+
+ATA = AT (the old IBM 286 computer) Attachment Interface, a draft American
+National Standard for connecting hard drives to PCs. This is the official
+name for "IDE".
+
+The latest standards define some enhancements, known as the ATA-6 spec,
+which grew out of vendor-specific "Enhanced IDE" (EIDE) implementations.
+
+ATAPI = ATA Packet Interface, a new protocol for controlling the drives,
+similar to SCSI protocols, created at the same time as the ATA2 standard.
+ATAPI is currently used for controlling CDROM, TAPE and FLOPPY (ZIP or
+LS120/240) devices, removable R/W cartridges, and for high capacity hard disk
+drives.

+IDE warm-plug HOWTO
+===================
+
+To warm-plug devices on a port 'idex':
+
+# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/delete_devices
+
+unplug old device(s) and plug new device(s)
+
+# echo -n "1" > /sys/class/ide_port/idex/scan
+
+done
+
+NOTE: please make sure that partitions are unmounted and that there are
+no other active references to devices before doing "delete_devices" step,
+also do not attempt "scan" step on devices currently in use -- otherwise
+results may be unpredictable and lead to data loss if you're unlucky
