I don't want to provide details until this hardware is available, which I
expect to be the case latest next month. It should be the hardware authors
who announce it first.
As far as a configurable address is concerned, I am already fine with what
the patch you have just merged provides. For testing purposes it is fine (at
least for me) to change the IDE base address in ide.c temporarily, now that
this address only appears in the code once.
