The ide driver does not list whether drives support things like
write cache, SMART, SECURITY ERASE UNIT. But for some silly
reason it tells us at boot whether each drive is capable of
supporting the Host Protected Area feature set. If people want
to know the capabilites of their drive, they can run 'hdparm'
and find out.
This patch removes this pointless noise. Please apply,
