OK, this does not change the patch only explains the strange naming. 
Should we document it the comment or the mail archive will do?

OpenBIOS does number ide devices though so to satisfy both we either need 
to change the whole naming of ide interfaces in OpenBIOS or just number 
them from 3 and this works for the currently emulated two ports.
