as you found out in your tests, io.c is correct as it was before.... I
think Grant got confused with our original pci mmio macros which had
wrong endian.... but that was a very long time ago :)

I am trying to bring up the ns87415 ide controller on my c3750.. not
much luck yet :-(

for the other controllers, you might need a pci fixup to bring the 
devices into native mode (as Alan mentioned in his email). i wonder if
it's safe to automatically set all IDE devices to native mode?
