[PATCH] 2.5.6-pre1 IDE clean 14

Most importantly this patch is making ide.c use the
new automagic for module initialization lists and further
preparing the rest of the code in question here for proper
module separation. Despite this the CMOS probe has been removed
as well... *Iff*, which I don't expect, this breaks anything
it can be reintroduced easely. During this effort an actual bug
in the initialization of the main module has been uncovered as well.
a quite serious BUG has been tagged in ide-scsi.c as well, but
as far as now I just didn't get along to actually fixing it.
(The patch is big enough as it is).

Details follow:

- Kill *unused* ide_media_verbose() funciton.

- Remove the unnecessary media and supports_dma fields from
    ide_driver_t.

- Remove the global name field from ide_driver_t struct by pushing it
    down to the places where it's actually used.

- Remove the unused hwif_data field from ide_hwif_t.

- Push the supports_dsc_overlap condition up to the level where it
    belongs: disk type as well.

- Make the initialization of ide main ide.c work with the new module
    initialization auto-magic instead of calling it explicitly in
    ll_rw_block.c This prevents the ide_init() from being called twice. We
    have BTW. renamed it to ata_module_init(), since  ata is more adequate
    then ide and xxx_module_init corresponds better to the naming
    conventions used elsewhere throughout the kernel.

    This BUG was there before any ide-clean.  It was worked around by a
    magic variable preventing the second call to succeed.  We have removed
    this variable in one of the previous patches and thus uncovered it.

- Kill proc_ide_read_driver() and proc_ide_write_driver(). The drivers
    already report on syslog which drives they have taken care of.  (Or
    at least they should). In esp. the proc_ide_write_driver() was just
    too offending for me.  Beleve it or not the purpose of it was to
    *request a particular* driver for a device, by echoing some magic
    values to a magic file...
    More importantly this "back door" was getting in the way of a properly
    done modularization of the IDE stuff.

- Made some not externally used functions static or not EXPORT-ed.

- Provide the start of a proper modularization between the main module
    and drivers for particular device types. Changing the name-space
    polluting DRIVER() macro to ata_ops() showed how inconsistently the
    busy (read: module  busy!) field from ide_driver_t
    is currently used across the    different device type modules.
    This has to be fixed soon.

- Make the ide code use the similar device type ID numbers as the SCSI
    code :-).  This is just tedious, but it will help in a distant
    feature. It helps reading the code anyway.

- Mark repettitive code with /* ATA-PATTERN */ comments for later
    consolidation at places where we did came across it.

- Various comments and notes added where some explanations was missing.

- * We query CMOS about hard disks : it could be that we have a SCSI/ESDI/etc
- * controller that is BIOS compatible with ST-506, and thus showing up in our
- * BIOS table, but not register compatible, and therefore not present in CMOS.
- *
- * Furthermore, we will assume that our ST-506 drives <if any> are the primary
- * drives in the system -- the ones reflected as drive 1 or 2.  The first
- * drive is stored in the high nibble of CMOS byte 0x12, the second in the low
- * nibble.  This will be either a 4 bit drive type or 0xf indicating use byte
- * 0x19 for an 8 bit type, drive 1, 0x1a for drive 2 in CMOS.  A non-zero value
- * means we have an AT controller hard disk for that drive.
- *
- * Of course, there is no guarantee that either drive is actually on the
- * "primary" IDE interface, but we don't bother trying to sort that out here.
- * If a drive is not actually on the primary interface, then these parameters
- * will be ignored.  This results in the user having to supply the logical
- * drive geometry as a boot parameter for each drive not on the primary i/f.

- * The only "perfect" way to handle this would be to modify the setup.[cS] code

- * The code below is bad. One of the problems is that drives 1 and 2
- * may be SCSI disks (even when IDE disks are present), so that
- * the geometry we read here from BIOS is attributed to the wrong disks.
- * Consequently, also the former "drive->present = 1" below was a mistake.
