Yes, I see this quite frequently on products I help integrate.
You just need the right IDE board support functions to initialize
a few things and the standard IDE drivers "just work."  Take a look
at the work Matthew Locke did for the MPC8xx IDE.  If you find
yourself writing more than about 50 lines of total code in these few
setup functions, you're likely trying too hard :-)
