[patch] ide.c as a module

[Daniel Tram Lux]

Hi,

I needed the ide-subsytem as a module on 2.4.23 and noticed (due to the missing modprobe on the embedded linux system)
that ide.c tries to load the module ide-probe-mod which is called ide-detect now.
The patch also get's rid of the need for ide-probe-mini alias ide-detect, but I don't know if that is desired? (it was in my case).

Regards

Daniel Lux

P.S.
please c/c me for comments.
