That's the driver entry, but the devices themselves have entries as
well, I'd rather put a per-device switch in them (either through the
actual device path, either PCI or macio, or the ide interface proper).

It's totally irrelevant actually :)

You can add you attributes to the driver itself, it contains the
necessary kobject etc... or you can add them to the device it matches
against (either a macio_dev or a pci_dev) ...

You must have typed it wrong ... One problem with ide-pmac though is
that the module name is confusing since the file name itself is just
"pmac". I'm not too familiar with the module params thing tho, it may be
possible to "override" the module name.
