Bug#603533: Missing sl82c105 ide module on IBM IntelliStation POWER 275
> This controller is not PowerPC specific. It can be run by traditional
> IDE driver or by modern libata pata driver. PowerPC kernel is compiled
> with the traditional IDE driver (sl82c105 module). Other kernel flavors
> use modern libata pata driver (pata_sl82c105). These two modules won't
> be used together, so a kernel flavor is compiled with either traditional
> IDE, or libata driver, but not both.
>
> I'm not quite sure why is PowerPC kernel not compiled with the modern

Miguel, please make this change into powerpc udebs only so we avoid
another mass-upload.
After squeeze we ought to review those udebs again and discuss with
kernel team about moving to libata for ppc too.
