This patch enables plain IDE functionality on the VIA VT6410 IDE controller

driver, but you can use Linux's software RAID once the drives are visible.
I did not write the original version of this patch, which I found on the
internet back in the days of kernel 2.6.2. I have been unable to identify
the original author to give him/her proper credit. I have been maintaining
and updating this patch since then and have released several updates which
have been successfully used by others who have downloaded it from my
website.
It seems appropriate that this minimal functionality should be in the
mainstream kernel.
After using this patch (it works), it comes to me that the 2.4 version
was in a separate driver, so I can control my order of controller
recognition. Just having access to the devices is useful, but it would
be more useful in the module version.
