(FWIW for Andrew)

I'm going to apply Andrew's patch, but without the PCI id removals.

Then, I'll apply a patch that adds Kconfig questions

Include hardware that conflicts with libata SATA driver?
(in drivers/ide)
and
Include hardware that conflicts with IDE driver?
(in libata, drivers/scsi)

and apply the associated ifdefs to the low-level drivers.

This is necessary to both enable conflict prevention, and also make sure
we don't break existing setups in the move to libata for SATA stuff.
