    I am writing software for an embedded Linux system that has a compact
    flash device directly wired to a general-purpose peripheral bus. This is
    a PowerPC 440GP-based system. The IDE interface chip select will appear
    at some physical memory location that I program into the peripheral bus
    controller.

    Is there a standard way to configure a Linux IDE driver to recognize
    this memory-mapped IDE device? It seems that the ide driver in Linux
    wants to talk to an IDE interface chip rather than directly to an IDE
    device. For example, Documentation/ide.txt refers to IDE chipsets, I/O
    ports, and the PCI bus.

    Thanks,

    Gregg
