This lets you throw out the iteraid stuff that has ended up back in due
to stupid goings on in the IDE world. Its the same heavily tested code
shipped in Fedora/Red Hat products but without the other dependancies on
the Bartlomiej IDE layer.
Pre-requisite: the ide-disk patch I sent to handle pure LBA devices.
Obviously you lose things like hot unplug with the Bartlomiej IDE layer
at the moment but that won't matter to most users.
The patch does the following
- Add IT8211/12 to pci_ids.h
- Add Makefile/Kconfig entry
- Add it8212 driver
No core IDE code is touched by this diff
Embedded system testing and the ability to force raid mode off by David
Howells
Made possible by the ite reference code, documentation and also several
clarifications and pieces of assistance provided by ITE themselves

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
