Alan, I bow to your superior knowledge and judgement. However,
'ide_scan_direction' is only used in two places in ide.c, and both of
those are only compiled in if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI:

in ide_setup():

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
if (!strcmp(s, "ide=reverse")) {
ide_scan_direction = 1;
printk(" : Enabled support for IDE inverse scan order.\n");
return 1;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI */

in probe_for_hwifs():

#ifdef CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI
if (pci_present())
{
ide_scan_pcibus(ide_scan_direction);
}
#endif /* CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI */

So protecting the variable with #ifdef .. #endif seems the simplest
and least intrusive way to fix it. How would you prefer I do it?

my opinions may seem crazy. But they all make sense. Insane sense, but
sense nontheless. -- Shlomi Fish on #offtopic.
