This seems to cause very irritating and bogus messages for me:

        Probing IDE interface ide0...
        Probing IDE interface ide1...
        ide2: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide2: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide3: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide3: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide4: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide4: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide5: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide5: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide6: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide6: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide7: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide7: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide8: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide8: ports already in use, skipping probe
        ide9: I/O resource 0x0-0x7 not free.
        ide9: ports already in use, skipping probe

and that's just totally bogus. It shouldn't even request that region, 
since it's not been allocated!

So that "ide_device_add_all()" is missing some checks. Should it check the 
probe[] array like ideprobe_init() used to, or what?
