[PATCH] stop CompactFlash devices being marked as removable

This patch stops CompactFlash devices being marked as removable.  They are
not removable (as defined by Linux) as the media and device are
inseparable.  When a card is removed, the whole device is removed from the
system and never sits in a media-less state.

This stops some nasty udev device creation/destruction loops.

Further, once this change is made, there is no need for ide to can be
removed from ide_drive_t.
