  *
+ * Documentation
+ *      Publically available from Intel web site. Errata documentation
+ * is also publically available. As an aide to anyone hacking on this
+ * driver the list of errata that are relevant is below.going back to
+ * PIIX4. Older device documentation is now a bit tricky to find.
+ *
+ * The chipsets all follow very much the same design. The orginal Triton
+ * series chipsets do _not_ support independant device timings, but this
+ * is fixed in Triton II. With the odd mobile exception the chips then
+ * change little except in gaining more modes until SATA arrives. This
+ * driver supports only the chips with independant timing (that is those
+ * with SITRE and the 0x44 timing register). See pata_oldpiix and pata_mpiix
+ * for the early chip drivers.
+ *
+ * Errata of note:
+ *
+ * Unfixable
+ *      PIIX4    errata #9      - Only on ultra obscure hw
+ *      ICH3     errata #13     - Not observed to affect real hw
+ *                                by Intel
+ *
+ * Things we must deal with
+ *      PIIX4   errata #10      - BM IDE hang with non UDMA
+ *                                (must stop/start dma to recover)
+ *      440MX   errata #15      - As PIIX4 errata #10
+ *      PIIX4   errata #15      - Must not read control registers
+ *                                during a PIO transfer
+ *      440MX   errata #13      - As PIIX4 errata #15
+ *      ICH2    errata #21      - DMA mode 0 doesn't work right
+ *      ICH0/1  errata #55      - As ICH2 errata #21

+ *                                drive hotswap [NOT YET SUPPORTED]
+ *      ICH2    spec c #20      - IDE PRD must not cross a 64K boundary
+ *                                and must be dword aligned
+ *      ICH2    spec c #24      - UDMA mode 4,5 t85/86 should be 6ns not 3.3
