[PATCH 01/11] completely initialize hw_regs_t in ide_setup_ports

[zippel]

ide_setup_ports does not completely initialize the hw_regs_t structure
which can cause random failures, as the structure is often on the stack.
None of the callers expect a partially initialized structure, i.e. none
of them do any setup of their own before calling ide_setup_ports().
