[PATCH] add six help texts to drivers_ide_Kconfig

From:  Steven Cole <elenstev@mesatop.com>

  Here are some help texts from 2.4.21-pre3 Configure.help which are
  needed in 2.5.59 drivers/ide/Kconfig.

This is a direct raw access to the media. It is a complex but
elegant solution to test and validate the domain of the hardware and
perform below the driver data recover if needed. This is the most
basic form of media-forensics.
If you are unsure, say N here.

Say Y here for PCI systems which use IDE drive(s).
This option helps the IDE driver to automatically detect and
configure all PCI-based IDE interfaces in your system.

This is an old piece of lost code from Linux 2.0 Kernels.
Generally say N here.

If you enable this you will be able to use and test highly
developmental projects. If you say N, the configurator will
simply skip those options.
It is SAFEST to say N to this question.

This driver ensures (U)DMA support for Victroy66 SouthBridges for
SMsC with Intel NorthBridges. This is an Ultra66 based chipset.
The nice thing about it is that you can mix Ultra/DMA/PIO devices
and it will handle timing cycles. Since this is an improved
look-a-like to the PIIX4 it should be a nice addition.
If you say Y here, you need to say Y to "Use DMA by default when
available" as well.
Please read the comments at the top of
drivers/ide/slc90e66.c.

help
Certain older chipsets, including the Tekram 690CD, use a single set
of I/O ports at 0x1f0 to control up to four drives, instead of the
customary two drives per port. Support for this can be enabled at
runtime using the "ide0=four" kernel boot parameter if you say Y
here.
