Looks good but aren't this trying to fix the same ICH
issue that is fixed in libata by ap->ops->irq_clear(ap)?

[ please see Tejun's mail: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/15/94 ]

If so shouldn't we apply this fix for all ICH5/6/7/8 chipsets?

Also shouldn't the fix be in IRQ handler?  Currently the fix is limited
to ide-cd driver which seems to be the wrong place as the problem
is supposed to happen also when using other IDE device drivers
or/and other ATA/ATAPI devices?
