drivers/ide/ide-lib.c: In function `ide_dma_speed':
drivers/ide/ide-lib.c:86: warning: `ultra_mask' might be used uninitialized in this function

Looks like a real bug to me - it depends up on the values of `mode' and
id->field_value.

Anyway, I'll drop it, please review and fix. I assume that warning was
occurring for you as well - please spend more time over these things.
Especially when working on IDE, where bugs are slow to show themselves and
have particularly bad consequences.
