"... but I was told it would."
I think less or different information (resulting in RTFM) might be more helpful. Looking at the 2.6.27 code, I'd
- change the default to -1 (unset) and let ide_generic_init print the text only if it's -1 (and then set it to the default value) - change the text to compiled_in? "please set ide_generic.probe_mask to use the generic IDE driver" "please set probe_mask to probe for more legacy interfaces" - not print anything if all interfaces are probed by default (non-x86) - document "don't use this driver if there is a more specific driver" next to the probe_mask documentation
