Resurrect IT8172 IDE controller driver
Support for the IT8172 IDE controller was removed from the kernel sometime after 2.6.18. Support for the only boards that used the IT8172 was removed from the kernel after 2.6.18, as they had never compiled since 2.6.0. However, there are a couple of platforms that use this chip: the PMC-Sierra Xiao Hu thin-client computer, which is no longer in production, and the Linksys NSS4000 Network Attached Storage box, which is based on the Xiao Hu board. I am attempting to add support for the Xiao Hu to the kernel, and this IT8172 IDE controller is the first bit of code in this effort. This patch resurrects the IT8172 IDE controller code. I began with the 2.6.18 version of the it8172.c file, and have moved it forward so that it works with the latest version of the kernel. I have run this driver on a PMC-Sierra Xiao Hu board with the 2.6.28 kernel, and I have had no problems with it in my configuration. The attached patch applies cleanly against 2.6.28.
