ide: add ide-4drives host driver (take 3)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_4DRIVES deserves its own host driver: * Add drivers/ide/legacy/ide-4drives.c and move "4drives" support there. * Add ide-4drives.o in the link order after all other legacy host drivers enabled by "ide0=" options (they all are mutually exclusive). * Make ide-4drives host driver probe itself for IDE devices instead of indirectly depending on ide_generic host driver. * Add "probe" module parameter to ide-4drives and update documentation. v2: * s/paramater/parameter/ in ide.txt. (Noticed by Randy Dunlap) v3: * s/ide_4drives.probe/ide-4drives.probe/ in help entry. (Noticed by Sergei Shtylyov) Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@gmail.com>
