Subject: [PATCH] ide: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE config option

Because hd.c was moved to drivers/block/ this config option
is superfluous now and may be removed.

-	  If you have one or more IDE drives, say Y or M here. If your system
-	  has no IDE drives, or if memory requirements are really tight, you
-	  could say N here, and select the "Old hard disk driver" below
-	  instead to save about 13 KB of memory in the kernel.
