This may not be the correct way to support the CF slot on Versatile
Express - it depends whether the CF slot on VE supports just CF
memory cards or whether it can take any CF card.
If the latter, then what may be inserted could be a CF network card,
and that means it's probably wrong to tell the kernel that what's
there is a PATA interface.
