drivers/ide is on its way out. I'm also curious that this shows up given that the inw() is going to cause a PCI sequence and stall the CPU entirely for ages anyway.
NAK because 1. This is a gcc problem 2. Not everyone is using an intel x86-32 box which has such problems 3. IDE is in life-support mode and the relatives are already planning the flowers.
