075affcbe0 ide: preserve Host Protected Area by default (v2)
From the perspective of most users of recent systems, disabling Host
Protected Area (HPA) can break vendor RAID formats, GPT partitions and
risks corrupting firmware or overwriting vendor system recovery tools.

Unfortunately the original (kernels < 2.6.30) behavior (unconditionally
disabling HPA and using full disk capacity) was introduced at the time
when the main use of HPA was to make the drive look small enough for the
BIOS to allow the system to boot with large capacity drives.

Thus to allow the maximum compatibility with the existing setups (using
HPA and partitioned with HPA disabled) we automically disable HPA if
any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.  Additionally HPA can also
be disabled using the "nohpa" module parameter (i.e. "ide_core.nohpa=0.0"
to disable HPA on /dev/hda).

v2:
Fix ->resume HPA support.

While at it:
- remove stale "idebus=" entry from Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt

9fd91d959f ide: add "ignore_cable" parameter (take 2)
Add "ignore_cable" parameter:

* "ide_core.ignore_cable=[interface_number]" boot option if IDE is built-in
  (i.e. "ide_core.ignore_cable=1" to force ignoring cable for "ide1")

* "ignore_cable=[interface_number]" module parameter (for ide_core module)
  if IDE is compiled as module

v2:
* Add ide_port_apply_params() helper
  - use it in ide_device_add_all() and ide_scan_port().

* Make it possible to later disable ignoring cable detection by passing
  "[interface_number]:0" to /sys/module/ide_core/parameters/ignore_cable
  (however sysfs interface is not enabled yet since it needs some other
   IDE changes to make it work reliable).

ffd4f6f0ee 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)

* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default()

  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.
