This doesn't fly too well either. CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE was a bool but
CONFIG_IDE is tristate. But changing the ifdef to

#if defined(CONFIG_IDE) || defined(CONFIG_IDE_MODULE)

wouldn't really work either. I think this needs some generic infrastructure
to get the PCI clock.

Or maybe this is just another reason to scrap IDE support.
