Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and
is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are
replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the
context.
There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4
kernels that are being removed.

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

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).

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.

* Add 'struct class ide_port_class' ('ide_port' class) and a 'struct
device *portdev' ('ide_port' class device) in ide_hwif_t.
* Register 'ide_port' class in ide_init() and unregister it in
cleanup_module().
* Create ->portdev in ide_register_port () and unregister it in
ide_unregister().
* Add "delete_devices" class device attribute for unregistering IDE devices
on a port and "scan" one for probing+registering IDE devices on a port.
* Add ide_sysfs_register_port() helper for registering "delete_devices"
and "scan" attributes with ->portdev. Call it in ide_device_add_all().
* Document IDE warm-plug support in Documentation/ide/warm-plug-howto.txt.
v2:
* Convert patch from using 'struct class_device' to use 'struct device'.
