[PATCH] ide: fix HPT37x timing tables
 
Fix/remove bad/unused timing tables: HPT370/A 66 MHz tables weren't really
needed (the chips are not UltraATA/133 capable and shouldn't support 66 MHz
PCI) and had many modes over- and underclocked, HPT372 33 MHz table was in
fact for 66 MHz and 50 MHz table missed UltraDMA mode 6, HPT374 33 MHz table
was really for 50 MHz...  (Actually, HPT370/A 33 MHz tables also have issues.
e.g.  HPT370 has PIO modes 0/1 overlocked.)

There's also no need in the separate HPT374 tables because HPT372 timings
should be the same (and those tables has UltraDMA mode 6 which HPT374 supports
depending on HPT374_ALLOW_ATA133_6 #define)...

      I'm sorry for any mistakes in this text.

Misc. notes for RISCom/8 serial driver, in no particular order :)

1) This driver can support up to 4 boards at time.
   Use string "riscom8=0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX,0xXXX" at LILO prompt, for
   setting I/O base addresses for boards. If you compile driver
   as module use modprobe options "iobase=0xXXX iobase1=0xXXX iobase2=..."

2) The driver partially supports famous 'setserial' program, you can use almost
   any of its options, excluding port & irq settings.

3) There are some misc. defines at the beginning of riscom8.c, please read the 
   comments and try to change some of them in case of problems.

4) I consider the current state of the driver as BETA.

5) SDL Communications WWW page is http://www.sdlcomm.com.

6) You can use the MAKEDEV program to create RISCom/8 /dev/ttyL* entries.

7) Minor numbers for first board are 0-7, for second 8-15, etc.
