There's a driver for an ADMA100 controller in 2.4.27 drivers/ide/pci. It is
compiled when CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ADMA100 is set. Probably old code that was
refactored in a seperate driver to make the ide driver cleaner.

Most likely unrequired.

Alright. I'll compile (tonight?) a 2.4.19 kernel using your patch files to see if there's any change. Gee, I really need to setup my x86->arm crosscompiling environment soon!
