Hi,
Attached is teeny patch that sort-of helps make IDE kernel modules
actually be modular.
I didn't realize that IDE modules weren't supposed to work in 2.4.21pre4
before I started bug hunting. Then, later, I accidentally forgot
to disable IDE modules, which lead to further confusion. The
attached patch helps a little, but I am presuming that it is probably
made obsolete by mainstream IDE work. So this patch is really just
'FYI'.
