Depends on in which mode you're going to use it. If it's True IDE mode, then
drivers/ata/, otherwise drivers/pcmcia/...

Hey,

as this doesn't seem to be a PCMCIA-capable driver, I'd say drivers/ata/ (same as pata_octeon_cf.c, for example)... But this decision seems quite easy to revert once the code is available :)

Best,
Dominik
