What do I have to do?

I assumed that I just have to remove the use of the functions, nothing else.
I've created a modified io.c for 2.4 and for 2.6 (can be found here:
http://www.cs.ucc.ie/~xam/io/ ). I used a CVS version updated a couple
of minutes ago, just after the merge with 2.6.4-rc1.

Was easy to do ... but I haven't tried to compile or run a kernel with the
modifications.

I'll test the the modifications tomorrow morning (in about 10 hours that is),
and will post the results. If successful, I'll also create the neccessary patches.
(btw, is there a special way how I should make the patches?)

I'll try with both 2.4.25-pa0 and 2.6.4-rc1-paX and the Promise IDE
controller. Maybe these changes make also DMA work for the internal IDE
of the C3000.
