    You were following up to the particular error message emitted by the IDE 
core (which you've now deleted), so I corrected you on its reason, that's all.

    When Linus remaps IRQ0 on x86, I'll follow that code as a testament. Until 
this happens, I consider is just an opinion. Forcing every arch but x86 to 
remap IRQ0 is an example of the double standards.

    So, it's OK to remove the base *address* check in ide_hwif_confiure() 
altogether?

    Well, I thought that was IORESOURCE_UNSET...
