[PATCH] ide_scsi: allow it to be used for non CD only

2006-11-29 Thread Alan
Some people want to use ide_cd for CD-ROM but still dynamically load ide-scsi for things like tape drives. If you compile in the CD driver this works out but if you want them modular you need an option to ensure that whoever loads first the right things happen. This replaces the original draft

Hi, Nowadays, you can dynamically change driver bound to a device using sysfs and it works just fine for IDE, ie: echo -n 1.0 /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-scsi/unbind echo -n 1.0 /sys/bus/ide/drivers/ide-cdrom/bind to unbind /dev/hdc from ide-scsi and bind to ide-cdrom That was one of the main

[PATCH -mm] sata_nv: add suspend/resume support
