Hello!

I' m trying to make a patch that adds the original gateworks ide/cf 
driver in kernel 2.6 (2.6.14.7). I build it in the kernel, but it does 
not probe for the avila ide at boot (no relevant printk messages are 
shown). A reason for this could be that the code also depends on other 
parts of the kernel that I forget to enable or parts that need to be 
modified. For example, there is also an ide-arm.c file in 
drivers/ide/arm/ which is not built. I' m not sure if this is needed for 
Avila ide to be probed at boot. This is regulated in drivers/ide/Kconfig 
as:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
config IDE_ARM
   def_bool ARM && (ARCH_A5K || ARCH_CLPS7500 || ARCH_RPC || ARCH_SHARK)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do I need to add ARCH_AVILA?

Any other ideas? Please, help me make this patch work!

This is the patch so far (excluding the avila-ide.c code to make this 
message smaller):
