Subject: [PATCH] siimage: DRAC4 note

The Dell DRAC4 has some interesting features including effectively hot
unplugging/replugging the virtual CD interface when the DRAC is reset.
This often causes drivers/ide/siimage to panic but is ok with the rather
smarter code in libata.

Just note this fact in the driver docs.
