insw/outsw in ide.h

Is there any PPC platform that needs to use a byte-swapping insw/outsw in
the IDE driver?  (I can't see why any platform would, but you never
know...)

I have changed the insw/outsw/insl/outsl in include/asm-ppc/io.h to be the
non-swapping form (in my tree at least, I'll push it to bk soon).  I would
like to take out the special definitions of insw/outsw in
include/asm-ppc/ide.h and just let the ide driver use the standard
(non-swapping) form.  Will this cause a problem for any PPC platforms?
