Hi Al,

(btw, original subject was wrong, I actually meant /proc/ide/via)

Care to explain
	* where to get equivalent information?

I don't think there is anywhere else that provides the whole range, but I do question the usefulness of most of it :)

Here's my previous attempt at this patch:

	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=112630444000358&w=2

If you can point out a way to keep /proc/ide/via around without causing the kind of ugliness found above, then maybe Bart can be persuaded to keep it around :)

	* what hardware setup has more than one of those controllers?

I'm pushing to get a simple patch merged, which adds ID's for a VIA VT6410 controller. Apparently these are available in PCI-card form as well as onboard-PCI-chip form. Bart raised the concern that this driver wouldn't cope well with 2 different controllers in use, so I'm trying to address this.

Thanks,
Daniel
