PATCH 2/2 pdc202xx_old: ignore "FIFO empty" bit in test_irq() method

The driver takes into account not only the interrupt status bit but also "FIFO empty" bit in its test_irq() method. This actually is a superfluous check since for the DMA commands calling the dma_test_irq() method further in the interrupt handler makes sure FIFO is emptied.

The patch is atop of ide-2.6.git tree...

Russell, would you mind giving this patch a test?

Applied, but I don't want to push this out until there is positive testing from Russell.

Russell, please test Sergei's patch, thanks!

I don't think Russell has seen any of these postings or requests for testing since as vger postmaster I'm now seeing his email address bouncing with 5 day delivery timeouts... sigh :-/
