moving ata initialisation to a command

2007-12-16 Thread Robert Millan
I'd like to move ata.mod initialisation away from its _init routine and into a separate command. This way it isn't a nuissance when it gets included in monolithic builds (such as the ones made by grub-mkrescue) and disables biosdisk completely. Does that sound fine? -- Robert Millan I know m
