This is used for calculating interface PIO timings. The default is 40 for known PCI systems, 50 otherwise. The ``idebus=xx'' parameter can be used to override this value. The actual value to be used is computed/displayed the first time through. Drivers should only use this as a last resort. .PP Returns a guessed speed in MHz.
