"... but I was told it would."
I think less or different information (resulting in RTFM) might be more
helpful. Looking at the 2.6.27 code, I'd
- change the default to -1 (unset) and let ide_generic_init print the
text only if it's -1 (and then set it to the default value)
- change the text to
compiled_in? "please set ide_generic.probe_mask to use the generic IDE driver"
"please set probe_mask to probe for more legacy interfaces"
- not print anything if all interfaces are probed by default (non-x86)
- document "don't use this driver if there is a more specific driver"
next to the probe_mask documentation
