reserving ATA channel numbers in kernel configuration files

[Dan Strick]

Is there any way to reserve specific ATA channel numbers for specific
PCI ATA controllers?

During bootstrap my kernel says:

	atapci0: <ITE 8212 ATA/RAID controller> port 0x8800-0x880f,
		0x8400-0x8403,0x8010-0x8017,0x7c00-0x7c03,0x7810-0x7817
		irq 16 at device 12.0 on pci3
	ata2: at 0x7810 on atapci0
	ata3: at 0x8010 on atapci0

	atapci1: <Intel ICH5 ATA100 controller> port 0xf000-0xf00f,0-0x3,
		0-0x7,0-0x3,0-0x7 irq 9 at device 31.1 on pci0
	ata0: at 0x1f0 irq 14 on atapci1
	ata1: at 0x170 irq 15 on atapci1

	atapci2: <Intel ICH5 SATA150 controller> port 0xd000-0xd00f,
		0xcc00-0xcc03,0xc800-0xc807,0xc400-0xc403,0xc000-0xc007
		irq 9 at device 31.2 on pci0
	ata4: at 0xc000 on atapci2
	ata5: at 0xc800 on atapci2

The relevant part of my kernel configuration file currently says:

	# ATA and ATAPI devices
	device          ata0    at isa? port IO_WD1 irq 14
	device          ata1    at isa? port IO_WD2 irq 15
	device          ata
	device          atadisk                 # ATA disk drives
	...
	options		ATA_STATIC_ID		#Static device numbering

I want the ICH5 SATA150 channels to be ata2 and ata3.

Thanks,
