It looks like {IN,OUT}_{BYTE,WORD}() are now the arch-specific routines to access the IDE registers, controlled by HAVE_ARCH_{IN,OUT}_BYTE?
If yes, - Why not call them ide_{in,out}[bw]()? - What about {in,out}s[wl]{,_swapw}()? Don't we need abstractions for those as well? - The old (ISA/PCI I/O only) {in,out}[bwl]() are still used in many places.
