- * Issue a new request to a drive from hwgroup
- *
- * A hwgroup is a serialized group of IDE interfaces.  Usually there is
- * exactly one hwif (interface) per hwgroup, but buggy controllers (eg. CMD640)
- * may have both interfaces in a single hwgroup to "serialize" access.
- * Or possibly multiple ISA interfaces can share a common IRQ by being grouped
- * together into one hwgroup for serialized access.
- *
- * Note also that several hwgroups can end up sharing a single IRQ,
- * possibly along with many other devices.  This is especially common in
- * PCI-based systems with off-board IDE controller cards.
- *
- * The IDE driver uses a per-hwgroup lock to protect the hwgroup->busy flag.
- *
- * The first thread into the driver for a particular hwgroup sets the
- * hwgroup->busy flag to indicate that this hwgroup is now active,
- * and then initiates processing of the top request from the request queue.
- *
- * Other threads attempting entry notice the busy setting, and will simply
- * queue their new requests and exit immediately.  Note that hwgroup->busy
- * remains set even when the driver is merely awaiting the next interrupt.
- * Thus, the meaning is "this hwgroup is busy processing a request".
- *
- * When processing of a request completes, the completing thread or IRQ-handler
- * will start the next request from the queue.  If no more work remains,
- * the driver will clear the hwgroup->busy flag and exit.
- *
- * The per-hwgroup spinlock is used to protect all access to the
- * hwgroup->busy flag, but is otherwise not needed for most processing in
- * the driver.  This makes the driver much more friendlier to shared IRQs
- * than previous designs, while remaining 100% (?) SMP safe and capable.
