This driver provides support for the secondary IDE interface and
cache of Promise IDE chipsets, e.g. DC4030 and DC5030. This driver
is known to incur timeouts/retries during heavy I/O to drives
attached to the secondary interface. CDROM and TAPE devices are not
supported yet. This driver is enabled at runtime using the
"ide0=dc4030" kernel boot parameter. See the Documentation/ide.txt
