I think it would be better to make it a kernel command line option
instead of Kconfig knob.

The reason is: with distro (pre-compiled) kernels you don't have to
re-compile anything to make the drive work.

The other option is to enable BLK_DEV_IDE_PMAC_SHORTCABLE by default,
but I'm not sure if it's safe thing to do (most probably not).

Thanks for you work on this,
