currently no.  I have a release II plan9 fs running on IDE disks
and will likely plug in my hack into the release III fs code.  it
allows striping across both primary and secondary IDE controllers.
it doesn't support DMA and faster PIO modes, since you need to know
about what sort of IDE controller you have (I have a piix3 which is
pretty dated by now).  It *does* work though :)

actually i've typed it all in and it initializes but crashes
on startup.  i just haven't had a chance to figure out what's
going on yet.  if you'd like to work on it i can send you a diff.
