Subject: 2.4.21(-ac) ide-disk and hpt366 modules problem

Hi,
There is a chicken-egg problem between ide-disk and hpt366 modules.
ide-disk should be loaded after chipset driver to detect what disks are
connected, but hpt366 needs ide-disk loaded because of 372N tricks and
__ide_do_rw_disk symbol.

I used the following hack to avoid the problem, but I think maybe
something better is needed.

Interesting dependancy - I hadn't noticed that one.
