ide: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option (take 2)
* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default() ("hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters should be used instead if somebody wishes to use the old "hd" driver). * Make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY config option available also when IDE subsystem is used and update help entry. * Remove no longer needed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option. v2: * Update documentation to suggest "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" instead of obsoleted "ide0=noprobe". * Update Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

187Note that if BOTH hd.c and ide.c are configured into the kernel,
188hd.c will normally be allowed to control the primary IDE interface.
189This is useful for older hardware that may be incompatible with ide.c,
190and still allows newer hardware to run on the 2nd/3rd/4th IDE ports
191under control of ide.c. To have ide.c also "take over" the primary
192IDE port in this situation, use the "command line" parameter: ide0=0x1f0
