ide-cd: remove the internal 64k buffer

This removes the internal ide-cd buffer and falls back to read-ahead block layer
capabilities. Thorough testing (cd burning, dvd read, raw read) gives with the
bufferless mode marginally better performance in addition to simplified code.

bufferless:

dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error
6238+0 records in
6238+0 records out
204406784 bytes (204 MB) copied, 259.891 s, 787 kB/s

real    4m21.598s
user    0m0.014s
sys     0m0.744s

with the old buffer (2.6.25-rc1):

dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error
6238+0 records in
6238+0 records out
204406784 bytes (204 MB) copied, 262.893 s, 778 kB/s

real    4m22.938s
user    0m0.009s
sys     0m0.771s
