ide: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option (take 2)
* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default() ("hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters should be used instead if somebody wishes to use the old "hd" driver). * Make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY config option available also when IDE subsystem is used and update help entry. * Remove no longer needed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option. v2: * Update documentation to suggest "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" instead of obsoleted "ide0=noprobe". * Update Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

- There are two drivers for MFM/RLL/IDE disks. Most people use just

- having an IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM or tape drive connected to the primary
- IDE interface. Choosing this option may be useful for older systems
- which have MFM/RLL/ESDI controller+drives at the primary port
- address (0x1f0), along with IDE drives at the secondary/3rd/4th port
- addresses.
