This is just another in the list of PCI ids the Intel interrupt code
should handle.

I completely agree. I took a quick try at porting the code from 5.x,
but the extensive use of mutexes, semaphores, and locking made porting
exceed my pain threshold. Besides, my SCSI focused management would
look at me funny :)

With regard to the patch, the 5.x ATA code does something similar
(handles all ICH* ATA devices the same) but in a more maintainable
way.
