Both old-IDE and libata should be able handle all controllers and
devices found using normal resource reservation methods.
This eliminates the awful, low-performing split-driver configuration
where old-IDE drove the PATA portion of a PCI device, in PIO-only mode,
and libata drove the SATA portion of the /same/ PCI device, in DMA mode.
Typically vendors would ship SATA hard drive / PATA optical
configuration, which would lend itself to slow (PIO-only) CD-ROM
performance.
For Intel users running in combined mode, it is now wholly dependent on
your driver choice (potentially link order, if you compile both drivers
in) whether old-IDE or libata will drive your hardware.
In either case, you will get full performance from both SATA and PATA
ports now, without having to pass a kernel command line parameter.

With c3000_defconfig and b180_defconfig, FAT couldn't be used
because no NLS modules were built.

Adds the ability to disability packet split at compile time and use the legacy receive path on PCI express hardware. Made this a CONFIG option and modified the Kconfig, to reflect the new option.

Remove legacy ISA serial ports for Accent, Boca, Fourport, Hub6 and MCA
from the architecture specific serial.h include.
The only ports which remain in asm-*/serial.h are the platform specific
entries. These should really be converted by platform maintainers to
use a platform device, such as can be found in
arch/arm/mach-footbridge/isa.c

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
