[PATCH] ide: remove /proc/ide/hd?/settings:ide-scsi & HDIO_SET_IDE_SCSI ioctl
As noticed by Alan Cox: "It doesn't work now so it clearly isnt being used 8). We hold the lock because its a proc function and we then replace the proc functions in the attach method -> deadlock. It is also incredibly hard to fix without a major rewrite." The same is true for HDIO_SET_IDE_SCSI ioctl. Both were broken 18 months ago in 2.5.63 as a side-effect of locking fixes.
