This moves the problem around without improving the overall situation
w.r.t. pc->flags (now ATAPI drivers are more pc-aware instead).

It also adds one more argument to the already overloaded ide_pc_intr()
(my fault, I went a bit overboard but I added a nice TODO explanation! ;).

Since there are better ideas on how to deal with pc->flags (you've even
described them yourself in the first mail :) I skipped this patch for now.
