The attached patch converts the "Intel Triton IDE support" into a "Generic PCI bus-mastering DMA support". Actually these are quite small changes. I just had to change the way that PCI IDE interfaces are probed a little. Hopefully I haven't broken anything. At least it now works with my SiS 5571 chipset... :)
I don't know about these changes. I do however agree that DMA support attempts in the generic IDE code should be protected by a single define.
I have a ns87415 driver for sparc64 which is pending merge into the tree, that driver is entirely seperate and does support DMA. I took the easy way out in my changes and just made all checks for CONFIG_IDE_TRITON which protected IDE dma stuff in the generic layer into tests for CONFIG_IDE_TRITON or CONFIG_IDE_NS87415.
