  | Will your new code work with 1.4 or does it need -current?

It certainly seems to compile & run on 1.4 (or at least, 1.4 with KAME added
in, but I doubt that IPv6 and IDE drivers are going to be affecting each other).

That is, I just compiled and booted it on such a system...

pciide1 at pci0 dev 15 function 0: Promise Ultra DMA/ATA66 Bus Master IDE Accele
rator 
pciide1: bus-master DMA support present
pciide1: primary channel configured to native-PCI mode
pciide1: using irq 11 for native-PCI interrupt
pciide1: disabling primary channel (no drives)
pciide1: secondary channel configured to native-PCI mode
pciide1: disabling secondary channel (no drives)

Unfortunately, as you can see, I have nothing connected to the Promise
controller yet, so this test of "working" is not all that effective.
I will move something onto it soon, just as a basic i/o validity test.

You might also notice that this is a Promise Ultra 66, which Manuel didn't
pretend to support (that's all I have).  For this, I added ...

That is, having no doc at all, I just assumed that the Promise people were
as lazy (or smart) as I would be, and change as little as possible.  This
might not end up actually doing 66MHz transfers, I don't know if I will
ever find out, if it works at all, it will be great.

Thanks Manuel - I kind of knew that if I just waited you'd make it all
work eventually!

And I will let everyone know if the /66 really does work with a device
connected (for now it will have to be an ATAPI device, if that looks OK,
I'll acquire some real /66 drives in the next couple of days and connect them)
