ioc4: automatically load sgiioc4 subordinate module
Modify ioc4 to always load the sgiioc4 IDE module if the board carrying the IOC4 hardware actually implements the IDE interface (not all boards bring this functionality off the IOC4 chip). A drive hosted on the IDE interface may contain the root filesystem, and sgiioc4 doesn't load automatically as ioc4 owns the PCI device ID, not sgiioc4.
