Bart, I'm really not interested in a 500 email rehash of the fact you
chose to refuse the hotplug support (that was working) for 2.6.x. You
did, the world has moved on, and there is no point putting a busproc
function in that driver.
Unfortunately it seems that not everybody has moved on. It is not
about your not accepted patches but about "the maintainer removed
all the usable hotplug support from old IDE" false accusations which
are unproven and untrue.
