+ *      @hwif: IDE port
+ *
+ *      This is needed on some PPCs and a bunch of BIOS-less embedded
+ *      platforms.  Typical cases are:
+ *
+ *      - The firmware hard reset the disk before booting the kernel,
+ *        the drive is still doing it's poweron-reset sequence, that
+ *        can take up to 30 seconds.
+ *
+ *      - The firmware does nothing (or no firmware), the device is
+ *        still in POST state (same as above actually).
+ *
+ *      - Some CD/DVD/Writer combo drives tend to drive the bus during
+ *        their reset sequence even when they are non-selected slave
+ *        devices, thus preventing discovery of the main HD.
+ *
+ *      Doing this wait-for-non-busy should not harm any existing
+ *      configuration and fix some issues like the above.
