This must not be done on APUS, where IDE I/O is memory mapped I/O.
Since drivers/ide/gayle.c already does request_mem_region(), you can keep on
using dummy functions if CONFIG_APUS.

Yes, it's messy: the ide_* macros may operate on either I/O or memory space,
depending on the box they're running on.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
