Aaarrgh...
Somewhere between the call to ide_setup and ide_init_hwif_ports
the interrupts get enabled. But I haven't got to the point where
exactly...

include/linux/ide.h:
    266 /*
    267  * ide_init_hwif_ports() is OBSOLETE and will be removed in 2.7 series.
    268  * New ports shouldn't define IDE_ARCH_OBSOLETE_INIT in <asm/ide.h>.
    269  */
    270 #ifdef IDE_ARCH_OBSOLETE_INIT
    271 static inline void ide_init_hwif_ports(hw_regs_t *hw,
    272                                        unsigned long io_addr,
    273                                        unsigned long ctl_addr,
    274                                        int *irq)
    275 {
    276         if (!irqs_disabled()) printk(__FILE__ "%s(): blaat: interrupts were enabled early@%d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__);
    277         if (!ctl_addr) {
    278                 ide_std_init_ports(hw, io_addr, ide_default_io_ctl(io_addr));

drivers/ide/ide.c:
    256 static void init_hwif_default(ide_hwif_t *hwif, unsigned int index)
    257 {
    258         hw_regs_t hw;
    259 
    260         if (!irqs_disabled()) printk(__FILE__ "%s(): blaat: interrupts were enabled early@%d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__);
    261         memset(&hw, 0, sizeof(hw_regs_t));
    262         if (!irqs_disabled()) printk(__FILE__ "%s(): blaat: interrupts were enabled early@%d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__);
    263 
    264         ide_init_hwif_ports(&hw, ide_default_io_base(index), 0, &hwif->irq);
    265         if (!irqs_disabled()) printk(__FILE__ " %s(): blaat: interrupts were enabled early@%d\n",__FUNCTION__,__LINE__);

So as I read it: init_hwif_default calls ide_init_hwif_ports with irq's
disabled, but upon entrance, the irq's are enabled.
That really makes no sense to me.
So I will continue digging this code (there must be something recursive going
on).
