This small series implements the quirky mode of via-ide found at least on pegasos2 which is needed for guests that expect this and activate work arounds on that platform and don't work unless this is emulated. (Symptom is missing IDE interrupts.) We need a flag to turn this mode on or off so the first patch repurposes the last remaining CMD646 specific field in PCIIDEState to allow more flags and make room for the new legacy-irq flag there. (The CMD646 may need similar mode or something else may need more flags in the future.) Boards using CMD646 and VIA IDE are updated for the above changes.
Tested with Linux and MorphOS on pegasos2 and a Gentoo live CD kernel for mips_fulong2e that's the only one I could find but being beta not sure if that fully works on real hardware. (The mips_fulong2e also seems to have problems with pci devices so to boot Linux you need -net none -vga none and use serial console otherwise the kernel panics.)
