I'm sorry to say it but this is missing the point entirely.

With such ifdefs around I'm finally able to see some still remaining to
be fixed libata PATA issues (BTW work on ide2libata is what allowed me to
quickly do previous "PATA fixes" and "more PATA fixes" patchsets).

i.e. I can see that pata_cs5536 still needs to be fixed to handle non-matching
PIO/MWDMA timings (pata_ali.h patch is even better example of the concept).

[ As added bonus I'm cutting LOC and enabling possibility of sharing testing
  efforts for much of IDE/libata low-level code ('"leave it alone" stability
  promise of an old-IDE' is a wishful thinking anyway given that whole kernel
  evolves, not to even mention that it is completely unnecessary as we have
  much better stability promise in distributions that need it -- they are
  simply using much older kernel version (i.e. RHEL). ]

In reality I'm doing a long overdue work that should have been done four yours
ago before commit 669a5db got merged without any review or integration work
being done...
