I'm taking the 2.2 version and going from there, as I did with the SMC driver.

console = SMC1.  First ported to SBC8260 (EST board), then to custom h/w.
The custom h/w has an IDE interface;  I hope to get the whole linux-1999 Q3
working on it;  that should be interesting.

Sure!  It might be a few weeks though...
