[PATCH] ide: sensible probing for PCI systems

Old ISA/VESA systems sometimes put tertiary IDE controllers at addresses
0x1e8, 0x168, 0x1e0 or 0x160.  Linux thus probes these addresses on x86
systems.  Unfortunately some PCI systems now use these addresses for other
purposes which leads to users seeing minute plus hangs during boot or even
crashes.

The following patch (again has been in Fedora for a while) only probes the
obscure legacy ISA ports on machinea that are pre-PCI.  This seems to keep
everyone happy and if there is someone with that utterly weird corner case
the ide= command line still provides a get out of jail card.
Unsurprisingly we've not found anyone so affected.
