Yes, on HPT371 IDE chip on the PCI bus to interface to compact flash
to store logs. For what it's worth I've only ever been able to make PIO
work, I've never had any luck with the IDE DMA modes. It hasn't been a
high enough priority to investigate further.

*_le32, *_be32, _order32 sounds like a good idea.
