drivers/ide: PATA driver for Celleb
This is the patch (based on 2.6.19-rc4) for PATA controller of
Toshiba Cell reference set(Celleb). The reference set consists
of Cell, 512MB memory, Super Companion Chip(SCC) and some
peripherals such as HDD, GbE, etc. You can see brief explanation
and picture of Cell reference set at following URLs.
We use a drivers/ide driver because its design is more suitable for
SCC IDE controller than libata driver. Since SCC supports only 32bit
read/write, we must override many callbacks of ata_port_operations
by modifying generic helpers. Each time the libata common code is
updated, we must update those modified helpers. It is very hard for us.

bytes to write in the status phase of the control request, by
gs_setup(). For this case, the value returned by gs_setup_class should
be zero for SET_LINE_CODING but, right now, appears to be
sizeof(struct usb_cdc_line_coding).
However, if after doing the memcpy of the line coding descriptor we
set the variable "ret" to be zero, we should return the appropiate ZLP
to the host as an ACK in the status phase of the control request.
