CONFIG_BLK_DEV_4DRIVES deserves its own host driver:
* Add drivers/ide/legacy/ide-4drives.c and move "4drives" support there.
* Add ide-4drives.o in the link order after all other legacy host
drivers enabled by "ide0=" options (they all are mutually exclusive).
* Make ide-4drives host driver probe itself for IDE devices instead of
indirectly depending on ide_generic host driver.
* Add "probe" module parameter to ide-4drives and update documentation.
v2:
* s/paramater/parameter/ in ide.txt. (Noticed by Randy Dunlap)
v3:
* s/ide_4drives.probe/ide-4drives.probe/ in help entry.
(Noticed by Sergei Shtylyov)

* Remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD hack from init_hwif_default()
("hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe" kernel parameters should be used
instead if somebody wishes to use the old "hd" driver).
* Make CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_ONLY config option available also when
IDE subsystem is used and update help entry.
* Remove no longer needed CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE config option.
v2:
* Update documentation to suggest "hda=noprobe hdb=noprobe"
instead of obsoleted "ide0=noprobe".
* Update Documentation/ide/ide.txt.

This option is obsolete and can be removed safely.
It allows us to remove the pci_get_device_reverse() function from the
PCI core.

Mark "hdx=remap" and "hdx=remap63" kernel parameters as obsoleted
(they are layering violation and should be dealt with in the same
way as done by libata - device-mapper should be used instead).

Mark "hdx=[driver_name]" and "hdx=scsi" kernel parameters as obsoleted
(nowadays device-driver binding can be changed at runtime through sysfs
and it can also be dealt with using per device driver parameters).

* "hdx=cyls,heads,sects,wpcom,irq" should be "hdx=cyls,heads,sects".
* "hdx=" is for "x" from 'a' to 'u', "idex=" is for "x" from '0' to '9'.
* "idex=noautotune" is long gone.
* Obsoleted "ide0=" parameters were already removed from the documentation.

Cleanup some of Documentation directory:
Move Documentation/ide.txt to the ide/ sub-directory.
Fix trailing whitespace while there.
