Ok, this is just _strange_.

Tying ATA_NONSTANDARD into ia64 by tying it to the 64BIT config variable
may work (well, I _assume_ it does), but it's just psychedelic.

How about adding a separate config entry like

config IA64_ATA
bool
depends on ATA
select ATA_NONSTANDARD
default y

which kind of makes sense when you squint just the right way..
