ide: doc: remove compilation options section from ide-cd documentation
This section pointed out to compilation options which no longer exist. VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS has been replace by config option CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD_VERBOSE_ERRORS. STANDARD_ATAPI is no longer needed, since the non-standard drivers, which required bcd2bin are now detected, and there's a flag for them. NO_DOOR_LOCKING is now a sysctl parameter for cdrom drivers. CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER is not used anymore. The READAUDIO is now in cdrom.c and it allocates as much as user space has requested to read, backing off if it fails. TEST is not there anymore or in cdrom either. ide allows to send ATA commands through ioctl, although it may be helpful to send MMC packets through the cdrom layer directly.

1624. Compilation options 1624. Common problems
163----------------------
164
165There are a few additional options which can be set when compiling the
166driver. Most people should not need to mess with any of these; they
167are listed here simply for completeness. A compilation option can be
168enabled by adding a line of the form `#define <option> 1' to the top
169of ide-cd.c. All these options are disabled by default.
170
171VERBOSE_IDE_CD_ERRORS
172 If this is set, ATAPI error codes will be translated into textual
173 descriptions. In addition, a dump is made of the command which
174 provoked the error. This is off by default to save the memory used
175 by the (somewhat long) table of error descriptions.
176
177STANDARD_ATAPI
178 If this is set, the code needed to deal with certain drives which do
179 not properly implement the ATAPI spec will be disabled. If you know
180 your drive implements ATAPI properly, you can turn this on to get a
181 slightly smaller kernel.
182
183NO_DOOR_LOCKING
184 If this is set, the driver will never attempt to lock the door of
185 the drive.
186
187CDROM_NBLOCKS_BUFFER
188 This sets the size of the buffer to be used for a CDROMREADAUDIO
189 ioctl. The default is 8.
190
191TEST
192 This currently enables an additional ioctl which enables a user-mode
193 program to execute an arbitrary packet command. See the source for
194 details. This should be left off unless you know what you're doing.
