[PATCH] ide-dma.c, ide.c, ide.h, kernel 2.4.24

[Glenn Wurster <gwurster _at_ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brief Synopsis:

IDE initialization on non-DMA controllers causes OOPS during boot
due to dereference of null function pointers.

Description:

This patch fixes an issue where null function pointers associated with
DMA are called during initialization of IDE hard drive controllers
(causing a kernel OOPS on boot).  The problem only occurs on
controllers which do not support DMA.  It has been tested successfuly
against a non-DMA IDE controller on x86.

I am not subscribed, so please CC me on any followup e-mails.

Glenn.
