I don't see the big advantage of this patch yet.

So we replace outb() => writeb(), but the function where this is used
is still __ide_outb() ?

The __ide_outb() => outb() mapping looks more logical to me.

And here the code size is growing, too.

What are the exact advantages of your version?

divides  us  is  whether it is crazy enough to have a chance of being
correct. My own feeling is that it is not crazy enough.  - Niels Bohr
