Thanks Dave,
On m68k, host->get_lock is used to both lock and register the
interrupt
that the IDE host shares with other device drivers. Registering the
IDE interrupt handler in ide-probe.c results in duplicating the
interrupt registered (once via host->get lock, and also via
init_irq()),
and may result in IDE accepting interrupts even when another driver
has
locked the interrupt hardware. This opens the whole locking scheme up
to races.
host->get_lock is set on m68k only, so other drivers' behaviour is not
changed.

It's a bit kludgy, but minimal and correct.
Would you have preferred to use a host flag instead?
Applied, thank you.
Thanks again,
Michael
