RE: custom ide driver causes "Badness in smp_call_function"

["Bryan Althouse" <bryan.althouse@3phoenix.com>]

Ralf,

I've done more testing with your patch.  When I use it with my non-SMP
kernel, disk access will cause a panic with a cache error message.  Is this
patch only intended for SMP, or is this a legitimate problem?
