PCI support in IDE driver is also added (or recovered), but the native PCI mode is not fully tested. I tried to configure EPIA (V1) code to use native mode, and the ports read something not 0xff, but the drive doesn't respond to soft reset.
I always had trouble with the 8231 native mode 3 years ago. I ended up giving up and always using compatibility mode.
I will try to fix compat. mode in v2.
