   OK, it's finally clear I can't keep up with reviewing 32 patches posted
at once...  Luckily, all those patches seem to be dealing with parallel port
control), not the PATA control! Of course, when I volunteered to review the
PATA driver patches, I didn't expect such patch volumes -- I mostly expected
some odd fixes, not a massive driver rework... :-/
