Why not try <linux/ata.h> + inline trick instead?

[ <linux/ata.h> is shared by both stacks so by moving the function there
  + making it inline it can also be shared without the need for dependency
  on libata. ]

How's about just leaving the final decision up to the user with changing
probe_mask in ide_generic from 0x3 to 0x0 and automatically probing for
ports 0-1 iff there is no IDE PCI controller present (otherwise check
probe_mask).

This is should remove the need for Kconfig magic and is a sane default
since a lot of people get caught using ide_generic by mistake and not by
intent (IOW they forgot to enable the right IDE PCI host driver).

[ The small minority which may use it by intent (I don't see any practical
  reasons for doing it though) would still be able to override the default
  with ide_generic.probe_mask=0x3 kernel parameter. ]
