Since I haven't heard back from Ben [1] on ide-pmac/media-bay IRQ issue
I took another look at ide-pmac patches and I think that it should be
possible to rework them in such way that consecutive ide patches (> 100)
won't depend on "ide-pmac: media-bay support fixes (take 4)" patch.

This would allow us to re-schedule it to 2.6.28 (which is probably what
we want because 2.6.26 is probably just around the corner and we will be
pretty busy with 2.6.27 merge window soon).  Ben, what's your opinion?

[1] which doesn't surprise me given his new responsibilities ;)

Thanks,
Bart
