From 7c51c17e0431d2f26bc23ee07de12eafb125ce83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 22:39:26 +0200 Subject: ide: remove CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE Use multi PIO by default when available and remove no longer needed CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE (it should be safe nowadays, despite to what help entry has been saying).
