Before the official integration, Doug & I had gotten the Cypress IDE
controller working on my (newer) PWS500aus & xp1000s.  For the next
week or so I'm keeping my local tree frozen at pre-newbus, so I have
no way to verify that it actually works.  But from a quick look at
ata-all.c v1.8 I think the important changes are there & that it
should work...

Hope this helps,

Drew
