That way, it is consistent with the other low-level chip access functions. But the algorithm is per se buggy, anyway, because except if DQ5 was raised before, the chip is not 'ready' (for reading array data), but still in programming mode and will remain there until the 'embedded programming algorithm' stops, because (according to the docs) a reset command will not be accepted until DQ5 has been raised and the opportunityto check for that is gone after the syscall returned to the caller.

There are five kinds of changes: - Trivial removals of unusable inlines. + get_buffer_flushtime(): defined in fs/buffer.c, only called from fs/jdb/journal.c + nmi_watchdog_tick(): defined in arch/{i386,x86_64}/kernel/nmi.c, only called from arch/{i386,x86_64}/kernel/traps.c + SELECT_INTERRUPT(): defined in drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, only called from drivers/ide/ide-io.c + QUIRK_LIST(): defined in drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, only called from drivers/ide/ide-probe.c - Removals of pointless inlines: + rtl8139_start_thread(): semi-heavy operation called infrequently + SELECT_DRIVE(): defined in drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, called from ide-iops.c and several other files; the calls in ide-iops.c are all in non-performance critical sections + SELECT_MASK(): similar to SELECT_DRIVE() + __mmdrop(): defined in kernel/fork.c, used in fork.c and several other files; the calls in fork.c are not performance critial enough to require inlining - Reordering to allow inlinining: + drivers/scsi/sg.c: move sg_jif_to_ms(), sg_alloc_kiovec(), and sg_free_kiovec() to before their first call sites + net/sunrpc/xprt.c: move do_xprt_reserve() to before its first and only call site - Wrappers to allow partial inlining of critical functions: + blk_get_queue(): split to allow internal calls in ll_rw_block.c to call the inlinable version + blk_seg_merge_ok(): similar to blk_get_queue() + ip_finish_output(): similar to blk_get_queue() - Replacing extern inline/normal functions duplication with only a single set of static inlines: + parport_pc defines a number of low-level functions both as extern inlines with bodies, and as normal functions in one file where those functions' addresses are exported. This causes errors from gcc-3.4. Most of these changes are from the 2.6 kernels. In some cases (the "wrappers to allow partial inlining" cases) the changes enable 2.4 to continue to (partially) inline a function even when 2.6 has elected to drop the inline attribute from that function. Compiled and booted on i386 SMP and UP, x86_64 SMP and UP, and ppc32 UP.
