My patch causes unswapping for _all_ data coming from the device so I wonder
whether the ide_fix_driveid() fix is still needed?

[ I now recall some discussion that we shouldn't un-swap fs requests because
  of how the things were done in the past fs itself is stored byte-swapped on
  the disk - if this is the case I will recast the patch to pass rq to
  ->ata_*put_data in ide_pio_sector() and check rq->cmd_type == REQ_TYPE_FS
  in falconide/q40ide_*put_data() to decide whether to unswap data or not ]

Thanks,
Bart
