The change is only effective when IDE is built as a module. It allows
you the option to have the same probing order as if IDE was built-in.

Without the patch it always probes the device as soon as each PCI driver
is loaded. And you can still do that as long as ide-generic is loaded
before the PCI drivers.

Cheers,
