Correct.


So the scenario in question (correct me if I'm wrong) is that we
have a PCI IDE device that is handed off in compatibility mode (and
may only work in that mode).  In that case, the PCI *device* still
exists, so shouldn't the IDE PCI code claim that device, notice that
it's in compatibility mode, and use the legacy ports and IRQs if
necessary?

It seems like that all should work even if we don't have IDE_GENERIC.

Yes, you're right. Thinking more, the PCI IDE code should pick that up, not the IDE_GENERIC code.
