Just so people know, if you have your root on something other than IDE,
you can sortof achieve this.

You simply make all the ide options modules, and then rmmod them, and
re-insmod them to do a bus rescan. I use this for hot swapping ide
drives. It's very nice. Not as nice as just forcing a rescan, but it
works.
