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

* 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.

of I/O ports at 0x1f0 to control up to four drives, instead of the
customary two drives per port. Support for this can be enabled at
- runtime using the "ide0=four" kernel boot parameter if you say Y
- here.
+ runtime using the "ide_4drives.probe" kernel boot parameter if you

Not "ide-4drives.probe?
