Subject: [PATCH 1/6] ide: make "paranoia" ->handler check in ide_intr() more strict

From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <bzolnier@...il.com>
Subject: [PATCH] ide: make "paranoia" ->handler check in ide_intr() more strict

If ->handler is set while it shouldn't be it indicates deep problems
so BUG_ON()-ning and preventing further damage is much more appropriate
than merely printing an error message.
