Hi,

you'll find attached a patch against 2.4.21-ac1 for the SiS IDE driver.

This is a 99% Vojtech work :
- Independant southbridge detection (no need to add MuTIOL northbridge 
PCI ids to the driver),
- Lots of code cleanup,
- Debug code removed (unused for a while, I will maintain it in my tree 
if needed),

I changed 2 things :
- SiS745 was reported to me as a MuTIOL northbridge chip, it is treated 
as such by removing it from the integrated chip table,
- the new config_xfer_rate is commented out until ide_find_best_mode is 
patched for bad drive handling (until then reverted to the old one using 
the config_drive_xfer_rate helper function).

For the 2.5 tree, I'll check the latest 2.5-bk and 2.5-ac state tomorrow 
(need some sleep). I see 2.5-ac is laging behind (.69 vs .72), do you 
want me to push a patch to Linus directly or to you first ? If you want 
it first, against 2.5-bk or -ac (or both) ?

Thanks to Vojtech,

LB.
